Catechism Class: Lord’s Day 45A
Why Do We Need to Pray?
Read Matthew 6:5-15.
In Lord’s Day 45 the catechist is still dealing with our grateful response to our salvation. When we enter a relationship with someone it is natural that we communicate with them. Of course, everyone is different, some people are more ‘chatty’ than others andI suspect that the same applies to prayer. As Christians, though, we will want to communicate with the One who created us and who saved us, regardless of how verbose or how verbal we are for prayer is a natural reaction to our salvation. If we appreciate what the Lord has done for us, we will want to tell him so, and want to express that in words. The catechist is going to challenge us with three questions. ‘Why should we pray?’ Q116, ‘How does God want us to pray?’ Q117 and ‘What should we pray about?’ Q118. In this lesson, we’ll deal with the first of those issues. Why does God want us to pray?
