Why Pray?

Over the next few weeks we will be looking at the Lord's Prayer through the Psalms.

Why pray?
Prayer is our response to God.
Prayer presupposes that God has spoken. And not only has God spoken, he has also acted.
Throughout the scriptures, God's speech and God's action is bound together. God created the heavens and the earth by the word of his power.
And he sustains all things by that same word. With God there is no difference between word and deed. When he speaks, he acts.
