Prayer is an important part of our relationship with God. No matter what, God is listening and paying attention, and our prayer acknowledges that. In any situation, we can talk to God. Whether we want to praise Him, thank Him, or ask for help, we know that God is listening and available. That makes prayer a very valuable thing for all Christians. It allows us to talk to the Lord and to be heard, and it strengthens our relationship with Christ.
