Jesus set the perfect example of obedience in prayer. Although His day was filled from morning to night with many pressures and responsibilities - addressing crowds, healing the sick, granting private interviews, traveling, and training His disciples -- He made prayer a top priority. If Jesus was so dependent upon His fellowship in prayer alone with His Father, how much more you and I should spend time alone with God.
The lives of the disciples and other Christians who have been mightily used of God through the centuries to reach their world for Christ all testify to the necessity of prayer. They are examples of obedience to our Lord's command to pray.
Someone has wisely said, "Satan laughs at our toiling, mocks our wisdom, but trembles when he sees the weakest saint on his knees."

Prayer is God's appointed way of doing God's work.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us––whatever we ask––we know that we have what we asked of him. 1 John 5:14,15
