[Y]our Father knows what you need before you ask Him. — Jesus (Matthew 6:8b)
Philip Yancey has some insight about why God wants us to pray when he already knows it all.
“We do not pray to tell God what he does not know, nor to remind him of things he has forgotten. He already cares for the things we pray about…. He has simply been waiting for us to care about them with him” – Philip Yancey, Prayer pg. 60
