Prayer isn’t just about asking God for things you need or desire. It’s about establishing a relationship with Him built on faith and trust in Him. God knows the desires of your heart long before you even think to ask, but he still loves to hear from you—whether you're asking for guidance or giving thanks—because it draws you closer to him. The Bible is full of people who were led to pray for many things we still pray about today: fear, healing, and worry. That's why the Good Book is chock-full of Bible verses about worry, Bible verses about strength, and Bible verses about hope. But for those dark days when you're questioning just how effective prayer really is, these Bible verses will help motivate you to get down on your knees and communicate with the Lord.
