God wants us to pray to Him. “Call to me, and I will answer you; I will tell you wonderful and marvelous things.” (Jeremiah 33: 3) “If any of you lack wisdom, you should pray to God, who will give it to you.” (James 1: 5) Jesus assumes that we will pray to God, “When you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen.” (Matt. 6: 6) The Bible teaches that God wants us to pray to Him and assumes that we will.

When praying, we want to seek the will of God, not change it. “We have courage in God’s presence, because we are sure that he hears us if we ask him for anything that is according to his will.” (1 John 5: 14) Jesus taught through parables that persistence is important when praying. In the parable of the widow and the judge, the widow kept on demanding her rights until the judge got tired of all the trouble and granted her request. “Now, will God not judge in favor of his own people who cry to him day and night for help?” (Luke 18: 7)
