The primary purpose of prayer is communication with God. It is not to get answers. [“Answers” refers to blessings. We always receive a response, but may not get the answer we are after.] While it is true that our primary purpose is not to get “things” from God, it is also true that we have been invited to ask Him to meet our needs, and even our wants.

So don’t forget: it is always right to ask! We have been invited to ask. God wants us to ask. We may not receive what we expect, but we are always welcome to ask. ...But the most important reason why we pray is to enter into the deepest fellowship and communion with Him, as He shares His thoughts with us and pours out His heart to us, the way He longs to do.

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (2 Thess. 5:16-18)

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7)

Be still and know that I am God.... (Psalm 46:10)

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. (Mark 11:24-25)
