Prayer is multidimensional. It includes petition, confession, intercession and praise, but its highest purpose is fellowship with the Father. In prayer we share our needs with God, but more importantly we spend time with the Father. Relationship takes precedence over everything else. Remember, the primary purpose of prayer is not petition but fellowship. It’s about spending time with the Lord.
“As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you,
— Psalm 42:1-2
O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.”
Lord Jesus, my heart hungers for You. Not for what You can do for me, but for You personally. I want to commune with You as friend with friend. I want to spend so much time with You that I become like You. Grant this I pray in Your holy name. Amen.
