• 1:04
  Hello, and welcome
• 1:06
  to today's episode.
• 1:08
  I wanna talk to you all about why
• 1:11
  prayer matters to God.
• 1:13
  The scripture I'm coming from today is Matthew
• 1:16
  six and six.
• 1:18
  But when you pray,
• 1:20
  go into your room,
• 1:22
  close the door, and pray to your father
• 1:24
  who is unseen.
• 1:26
  Then your father who sees what is done
• 1:28
  in secret
• 1:30
  will reward you.
• 1:33
  Prayer matters to God because it reveals relationship,
• 1:37
  not performance.
• 1:39
  God invites us into private intimate conversation with
• 1:43
  him and how we invite him into our
• 1:46
  lives.
• 1:47
  God desires to express his love as a
• 1:50
  father and sovereignty
• 1:52
  as our king.
• 1:55
  We need him,
• 1:57
  and he wants us.
• 2:00
  Prayer creates space for relationship,
• 2:02
  surrender, and trust.
• 2:05
  When we pray, we show God that we
• 2:07
  rely on him
• 2:09
  and desire to walk with him.
• 2:11
  It is not a duty.
• 2:14
  It is
• 2:15
  a devotion.
• 2:17
  Let's pray.
• 2:20
  Father god, thank you for wanting a relationship
• 2:23
  with me.
• 2:25
  Help me pray for a place of submission.
• 2:29
  Love,
• 2:30
  not obligation.
• 2:32
  Teach me to pray with honesty and intimacy.
• 2:36
  I open my heart to you daily.
• 2:40
  Draw me closer as I seek you,
• 2:44
  and I will give you all of my
• 2:47
  heart and bless you.
• 2:50
  Amen.
• 2:56
