What is the primary purpose for communicating? The answer is also the primary purpose for praying.
The primary purpose for communicating and for praying is to seek understanding. Let’s take prayer for example, many times when we pray we try to convince the Lord to see things our way. That is called praying or communicating for agreement.
We pray for our Father to bless us with certain things (better job, new car, a new friend, wife or husband.) And when He doesn’t respond the way we want, we become angry, frustrated, claim that things are not fair, that the heavens are closed, or that we gave the Lord a chance but He didn’t come through etc.
