       Another thing that’s noteworthy for us, is that prayer will provide us with personal help in our lives, without a doubt, and help others we pray for who are in our lives. We all need help in various ways, and God tells us in his Word to pray for the things we want help with. We pray for our own needs, and perhaps we spend even more time praying for the needs of others, whether they are needs others have told us about, or whether they are necessities we have perceived that others need. But, we are to go to God in prayer to ask for different requests. This is what Jesus taught us, and this theme is carried along through the rest of the New Testament. And even when we have desires on our hearts, things we would like God to do for us, or to help us with, we are to raise those things to him in prayer. Thirdly, prayer allows us to cast off our cares, our anxieties, on God so that he can deal with them and instead of us sitting around and worrying about them. I think we can all agree that anxiety is a big problem for us as we all face varying life circumstances that can weigh us down.
