Prayer is vital to the Christian life. J. C. Ryle says
“You cannot know God in Christ if you do not speak to Him in prayer. If you want to be with him in heaven, you must be one of his friends on earth. If you want to be one of his friends on earth, you must pray?

Bring your fears and anxieties to Christ, because He takes care of you!
