                                  By Elia Vesikula

Prayer is an important part of our relationship with God. It is important to pray always. Its also part of our worship and thanksgiving. Prayers is the key to open heavens doors of blessing. Here are some biblical reasons to pray.
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
1. LUKE 18:1. The Parable of the Persistent Widow
 1Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. 3And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.'
 4"For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, 5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' "
 6And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
ACTS 4:31
31After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

EPHESIANS: 6:18
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

 1 Timothy 2

Instructions on Worship
1.I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— 2,for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time. 7And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.
 8.I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.

Recently I was shown a vision that I was standing in a very large church and was standing up front as I was about to deliver a sermon.

Then as I looked again the entire church was filled to capacity and there was a person preaching standing in front where I had my bible placed. People were applauding him in their praise. After his speech which I did not understand he came and sat where I was. He conversed with me but his words were nonsense to me and I could not understand what he was saying.
