Prayer is not a way of trying to inform God about what we are going through, because our God knows all things, and of course, He already knows what we are going through.
This is where the confusion began: then why should we pray?
Let’s go back to the beginning. Genesis 1:26 says, “Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the cattle, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’”
The Bible says that man was created with the sole purpose of ruling over the earth. That means man was placed in charge of earthly affairs, to rule in dependence on God, not independently.
Even God Himself, when He wanted to come to earth to save mankind, made sure there was a body prepared for Him. So in Jesus, God became man, because on earth it is a spirit living inside a body, called man, that has dominion over it. It is the same reason demons seek to possess bodies, to advance and carry out their agenda.
This is why Jesus said, when you pray, say, “Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). The will of God is already happening in heaven, but it will not happen on earth automatically until the one placed in charge of the earth permits it to happen.
That is why man has to pray to enforce the will of God on earth, because he was placed in charge.
So prayer is a way of issuing permission for heaven to intervene in earthly affairs.
