Why pray?
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." - Revelation 3:20 NKJV

Prayer is our connection to Him and through the Holy Spirit our ears are able to be opened to hear the still small voice. But again, we must "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:33).
Don't forget that God gives us all the things that we need, He never puts on us more than we can bear. When tears fall in our darkest of times, God says that He will give us a shoulder to lean on and then He will stretch out His hands to raise up. Even if our tears may fall, it is through His love and grace that we are able to stand. We must seek Him through prayer to tell Him the things of our heart. God is our Father and best friend, if we do not open our hearts to Him how can He come into our lives and change us from within?
