“Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.”

I’ve played semi-pro football as an adult, played youth and teen baseball, basketball, tennis, soccer, football and more sports where we as a team would say this prayer out loud…many times we’d join with our opponents and huddle up peacefully to share in this prayer together and it was always a beautiful experience. Saying this prayer out loud as an adult and a kid made peace between teams, de-escalated tensions, and reminded us we are all God’s children and should love one another.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” – 2 Timothy 1:7

This was one of my favorite verses my Mom gave me as a child when I’d be scared and fear losing my parents. Ever since I’d intertwine this into my prayers for comfort and to calm my fears as a child and still to this day. It works for me to say it out loud to myself in prayer that God has equipped me to deal with fear and I do not need to worry or fear.

In business or stressful life situations I repeat this verse and keep it as part of my prayers to maintain confidence and know I’m strong enough with God’s help and to have no fears.

About The Site: Why Do I Pray?

I want this website to show others the power of prayer. I want to share Real-life testimonials of how prayer has helped people around the world. Prayer has been so very important in my life since I was 4 years old. I asked to have Jesus in my life at 4 and never turned back. I’m not perfect, I’m a sinner, I don’t have all the answers about God…but I’ve felt him in my heart since I was 4. I know prayer works and is so powerful. Prayer is a simple conversation between me and God, his Son Jesus, & The Holy Spirit. We do not need an intermediary, no pastor, no priest, no other family member or friend…nope it’s just a conversation between me and my God.

So many others feel the same as me so I’ve wanted to setup a platform to post, document, (later audio & video), make public others reasons about why they pray…why we pray. I want others who may be curious or are questioning God to see what real people like me feel prayer does for us.

Prayer changes lives. Prayer changes circumstances. Prayer lifts us up. Prayer can heal. Prayer offers hope. Prayer can give clarity & direction. Prayer can calm us. Prayer can grow us.

Since I was 4 years old I’ve believed in God. I asked my parents about these feelings and we discussed and then we went to see our Pastor and he discussed with me my feelings and then I asked to be baptized. I have never looked back. Every time I’ve gone without prayer I’ve regretted it. I want this site to help others see why prayer has been so important in our lives.
