Why should Christians pray?
Because Satan preys!
Sometimes we slack up in our prayer life.
I believe that the reason why we don't spend time praying like we should is because we don't know what exactly to pray for.
As I was thinking about it,
I came up with a list of things
Christians can pray for.
# 1 Physical Well-being
# 2 Spiritual Well-being
# 3 Financial Well-being
# 4 Husband / Wife relationships
# 5 Parents / Children relationships
# 6 Your Neighborhood
# 7 Your Schools
# 8 Your classmates
# 9 Your co-workers
# 10 Your local government
# 11Your national government
# 12 Morals Issues
# 13 Your church pastor
# 14 Your Sunday School Teacher
# 15 Your brothers & sisters in Christ

I think the primary idea behind prayer is relationship. We have access to the Father because our salvation establishes our eternal relationship to Him. We are family of God, children of God, and have the right to express our gratitude, praise, and make our requests known to Him. In humility we recognize that He has all the rights and that His answer to our prayers is always the best.

I only pray for souls and with church we pray against attacks.
I have a few points from the Bible and for the rest I pray in tongues. First of all we should pray for all man because God wants all saved. I have looked for a group to pray with, but gave up and now I just pray alone, now that my rabbits took away the loneliness. I joined another prayer warriors group on Facebook. Oh great, awesome, lets pray in unity. Oh. Only prayer requests for me, me, me, me. Pffff go pray yourself. I only pray for souls.

Yes...........and when Christians pray, they should ALWAYS take time to LISTEN!

Praying is talking WITH God, not just TO God. Take time to let God talk too!

:)

Often times His way to talk is through His written word in the Bible :)

Well why do Christians pray?

well it is true we pray to God for our needs but how many of us pray to God for his wants?

I think one of the most mature prayers you can communicate to God with is a prayer of praise. Praising God for who he is, what hes done, etc.
