Why Pray?

from Faith Family Church · host Grant Hoyle

Most of us pray... but if we're honest, we're not really sure why.Is it just something Christians do? Does it actually change anything? And if God already knows what we need, what's the point?In Week 2 of The Essentials, Pastor Grant Hoyle tackles one of the most honest questions in the faith: Why pray? And the answer might surprise you.It's not about the right words. It's not about being loud or religious enough. It's about alignment. When you step into prayer, you stop fighting against where God is trying to take you and start flowing with Him.Jesus didn't just teach us what to say. He showed us what prayer actually does. It's where you transfer the weight off your shoulders and onto His. It's where heaven and earth connect. And it's where everything starts to shift.If you've ever prayed and wondered if it was doing anything, this one is for you.
