Why pray if God is sovereign?

Answer 1

In my opinion, God wants to have a personal relationship with His children. Following Christ is not a religion, it is a relationship.

When you are in a relationship with someone, the logical thing to do is to get to know them and when this happens you become closer to them. Eventually, a love begins to grow, right?

So to answer your question, praying is only one way of getting to know God. Reading The Bible consistently is another way. Praying and reading the Bible are only two ways that God reveals himself to us.

Yes, God is sovereign but never forget that He loves us and that He wants us to get to know Him through prayer and becoming steadfast in our walk with Him.

Hope that answers your question
