Main Scriptures:

Jeremiah 29:12-13 New King James Version
12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jer 33:3 Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and [a]mighty things, which you do not know.’
2 Chronicles 16:9 “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him.

“When we first begin to pray, prayer feels like attempting to convince God to do His will. But since God desires His will be done on earth more than we do, God really doesn’t need to be convinced much. So God must have other reasons to get us to pray. As we continue to pray, we discover that God’s intent was to mold a person that would desire, surrender, trust, and obey His will. Through prayer, God can see which person truly trusts, desires, and obeys His will.” －Johnson and Pearl
