Why do we pray??  
"Prayer" is the spiritual evidence of our personal relationship with God.  When we pray, we are communicating with Him.  When we pray, we must pray from our heart. 

"...The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results." -
James 5:16

Jesus gave us the MODEL PRAYER in Matthew 6:5-13

     5 "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 6But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. 7And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8"Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. 9In this manner, therefore, pray:


        Our Father in heaven,
        Hallowed be Your name.
        10Your kingdom come.
        Your will be done
        On earth as it is in heaven.
        11Give us this day our daily bread.
        12And forgive us our debts,
        As we forgive our debtors.
        13And do not lead us into temptation,
        But deliver us from the evil one.
        For Yours is the kingdom and the
        power and the glory forever. Amen.

"Be joyful always;  pray continually;  give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."  - 1Thessalonians 16-18
"...He answered their prayers because they trusted in Him."   1Chronicles 5:20
"And, when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.  Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him."  - Matthew 6:7-8
"...Pray that you will not fall into temptation.  Jesus withdrew from them about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed..."  Luke 22:40-41


"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 3:6-7


"Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."  Mark 11:24

 
"Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word."  Acts 6:3-4
