The Bible tells us that our Heavenly Father knows what things we have need of, before we ask Him (Matthew 6:8). So why then do we still pray?
Firstly, man is a free moral agent, with the rights and the power of choice. God never enforces His will, purpose or choice on anyone. That’s where prayer comes in. You’d have to dialogue or commune with Him in prayer concerning your desires, even though He already knows what’s in your heart.
God needs you to cooperate with Him to bring His Will and good pleasure to pass in your life. The principle is that two can’t walk together except they agree (Amos 3:3). You agree with God when you speak the same things He has said concerning you in prayer. That way, you side up with Him to have His Word come to pass in your life.
If there’re things in your life that you want changed, then go ahead and bring them before the Lord in prayer. Until you do, nothing will change. God will only endorse for you the change that you’ve permitted.
