Why did Jesus pray?
When we think about how we practice our faith it always useful to ask “What did Jesus do?” Jesus prayed often and consistently for two reasons:
- He prayed simply to communicate with his father. Like all relationships communication is a vital part to maintaining a level of intimacy with any individual.
- Jesus prayed to teach us how to communicate to our heavenly father too.
Here is a helpful article that includes more information on why Jesus needed to pray.
Amen.
