God wants us to ask Him for our needs. He is a loving Father that cares for us.
Prayer should not be seen as something to be left to the professionals. We all can, and should, pray. God will hear our prayers.
One thing that we can be thankful for is that Jesus gave us access to God's plan of salvation, and we can read about this in God's word.
The world calls us to be busy, but we need to take time to be quiet and spend time with God.
