Purpose of daily prayer to God
Prayer (Photo credit: Chris Yarzab ) Matthew 6:5-8 We pray "not to inform God or instruct him but to beseech him closely, to be made intimate with him, by continuance in supplication; to be humbled; to be reminded of our sins" ( John Chrysostom , Homilies on the Gospel of Saint Matthew , 19.4). Private prayer helps conform us to Christ . How much time do you spend praying in private? If you pray in public more than you do in private, you might be more concerned with how others see you than with how God sees you.
