Prayerlessness is a big problem for Christians today. There are many reasons we might fall away from prayer, but losing this connection to God affects every other part of our life. Even when we do pray, we often miss the point... mindless words and worldly requests... when Jesus gave us a clear example to follow. God already knows our needs. The prayer is our acknowledgement that we need Him for everything. We need to get back to the basics and honor Him.
