Primary Function of Prayers

The Primary Functions of Prayer

God has promised us peace this year. And our peace comes from the Lord Jesus because He is our prince (source) of peace.

Our relationship with the Lord will determine the level of peace we will enjoy here on earth.

Our relationship with God is the major route to the peace of God.

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. -Job 22:21

Until you are in relationship with God, you cannot be at peace.

The more you grow in relationship with God the more your peace abounds and increase.

We grow in our relationship with God by knowing Him. The more you know Him, the more you relate and grow in relating with Him.

The more we know Him, the more we grow to be like Him.

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. -Romans 8:29

God's greatest desire is to know Him and be conformed to Him.


That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; -Philippians 3:10

One way to constantly know God is through prayers.

The primary function of prayer therefore is not to get blessings from God but to know God. 

Prayer is given us as a medium to conform us to the image of the Son of God.

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, -Galatians 4:19

And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. -Luke 9:29
