Prayer is the breath of the Christian life—the distinct privilege of the child of God to communicate directly with the Creator of the universe. In the Dispensation of Grace, we have boldness to enter the Holiest of All by the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 10:19) and “come boldly to the throne of grace” (Hebrews 4:16). Prayer is not a mechanism to manipulate God’s will, but a means to align our hearts with His sovereignty. It is an act of worship, dependence, and spiritual warfare where we acknowledge our weakness and invite His power to intervene in the affairs of men.
