This week on Ask the Pastor, Pastor J.D. continues his series called, “Why Does It Matter?” with the question, “Why Does Prayer Matter?” A glimpse inside this episode: Prayer is essential for experiencing the fullness of joy. Unanswered prayer can be a part of God’s better plan. Persistence in prayer is often necessary for receiving answers. Prayer is a means by which God accomplishes His will on earth. God’s sovereignty does not negate the importance of prayer. Sometimes God answers prayers in ways we do not expect. Prayer changes us and the circumstances around us. The act of praying is a way to inhabit God’s presence. Unanswered prayers can lead to spiritual growth and understanding. The gospel reassures us of God’s constant presence and care.
