Prayer keeps us connected with GOD and helps us connect others to GOD. It’s hard to stay close with someone you never talk with. Have you noticed, that you never have to tell best friends to talk with each other. They are going to go out of their way to spend time with each other and the time they spend brings them closer together.
This is true in our relationship with GOD. When we spend time with GOD in prayer to enjoy His company we get closer to Him and our love for Him grows. If the company we keep affects the content of our character then keeping company with Jesus will produce beautiful results in our lives. We will express our love to Him freely, ask for forgiveness sooner, and get to know and appreciate Him better. How we spend time with Jesus will directly affect how we interact with others.
A number of years ago I started praying for three things for the people in my life. I pray for GOD to Protect them, Provide for them and give them wisdom, and for them to have a Personal relationship with GOD. I call it the three P’s. I have noticed it’s really hard to stay mad at someone that I am praying for God to protect, provide for, and to come into personal relationship with. This kind of praying also causes me to be more in tune with the Spirit during my future interactions with them. Prayer is Productive
