First, to be a Christian is to believe God invited you into a personal relationship with Him and to accept that invitation. Saying that you can experience being a Christian in the way God intended without learning to pray is like saying you can be happily married or have a deep friendship without regular communication. But maybe the question is not why should Christians pray, but why should they want to? Here are four great reasons to pray as a Christian:

• You want to tell God how much you love Him and why.
• You need to say “I’m sorry” for specific actions or attitudes.
• You want to thank God.
• You want to bring a concern to God and invite Him to help.
