One of the things that Christians take for granted is prayer. Prayer can become a mechanical matter that has to precede eating. But the Bible teaches us that prayer is a great privilege that was purchased for us by Jesus on the cross. As He comes to the concluding portion of His final discourse with the disciples, Jesus encourages us regarding prayer. We have the great privilege of access to the Father and the joy that comes from communing with God by “Praying to the Father” (John 16:23-27).
