Why Praying if God is all-knowing



As a Christian, there are two important questions you need to deal with when it comes to PRAYER:

1.) Why pray if God is all-knowing?

2.) Can sin stop God from answering your prayers?

Let us briefly look at these two questions:

1.) Why pray if God is all-knowing?

It is simply because prayer is not about giving God information. Prayer is about coming into agreement with God so that His will can be manifested on earth.

In Amos 3:7, the Bible declares that God will do nothing on earth until He first reveals it to His servants, the prophets. This means that when God reveals His will to you, He doesn’t do it to entertain you – He does it so that you can begin to speak and proclaim His will on the earth.

Why? It is because Psalm 115:16 declares that the heavens belong to God, but He has given the earth to the sons of men.

In other words, God won’t do anything on earth until someone somewhere comes into agreement with His will and begins to speak and proclaim it on earth.

2.) Can sin stop God from answering your prayers?

As much as we are all against sin, the fact still remains that if God had to wait for you to become sinless before He answered any of your prayers, you would never get any of your prayers answered.

In James 5:16, the Bible declares that the prayer of a RIGHTEOUS person yields great results.

So as a Christian, God doesn’t answer your prayers because you are SINLESS – and you are NOT sinless, by the way.

Rather, God answers your prayers because you are RIGHTEOUS, and if you are a Christian, the Bible declares in 1 Corinthians 1:30 that your righteousness before God is not about your ACTIONS – it’s about a PERSON: Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is your righteousness. Therefore, when God assesses our state of righteousness before He answers your prayers, He doesn’t look at you – He looks at Jesus.

That is why when you pray, you always say, “In the name of Jesus!”

Why? It is because God answers your prayers because of Jesus, and not because you have done a good job in keeping yourself sinless.
