Why Prayer Still Matters // Pastor Jon Larson

If God already knows everything... Why should I pray?It's a deep and honest question and we’re not alone in wondering. A lot of people have asked this. But here’s the beautiful thing, prayer isn’t about informing God, it’s about transforming us.In a world full of uncertainty, stress, and challenges, prayer is the sacred space where we connect with the One who knows us completely and loves us unconditionally. Prayer is more than a ritual or routine, it’s our lifeline to God. It’s how we bring our joys, fears, hopes, and needs before God and how we listen for His guidance and peace.But why do we pray? Why should we take time to talk to God in the midst of our busy lives? Because prayer changes us. It invites God’s presence into our daily struggles and celebrations. It strengthens our faith, aligns our hearts with His will and reminds us that we are never alone.Prayer matters as it can transform our relationship with God, the world around us and how we perceive ourselves and our circumstances.
