I pray because God told us to. (1 Thess 5: 17) and Matt 7: 7. Why would God want this? We are His children and like all parents, He desires a relationship with us. Prayer is talking to God. Also, remember that we don't live forever so the sooner we develop a relationship with our creator, the better we will be. And lastly, when we talk to God, we also have to listen, too. This is where we will recognize God's voice. This is the reward for persistence in prayer. Answers, advice, and guidance are the fruits of praying.
