What is Christian prayer?


In short, we could say that prayer is communication with God.  For Christians this communication is possible because of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.  This is why Christians pray "in Jesus' name." 

Why would God want us to pray?


God wants us to pray because prayer expresses our trust in God.  Humble genuine prayer is only possible when we are convinced of God's wisdom, love, goodness, and power indeed of all of the attributes that make up his excellent character.  Wayne Grudem writes, "When we truly pray, we as persons, in the wholeness of our character, are relating to God as a person, in the wholeness of his character. Thus, all that we think or feel about God comes to expression in our prayer. It is only natural that God would delight in such activity and place much emphasis on it in his relationship with us."
