Throughout the Bible, we see that angels bring assistance, protection, spiritual aid in battles, and messages when we pray to God (Dan 9:20-21; Ps 91:11-12; Dan 10-12-13; Lk 1:11-13). We don’t pray to angels; as an answer to our prayers, God dispatches them. They are attracted to prayer and activated through it.
2. Prayer invites God
When we pray, we are inviting God’s presence. It doesn’t mean that he suddenly becomes closer to us but rather we become more aware of His nearness and His love for us.
3. Prayer repels the enemy
Through prayer, we resist the devil causing him to flee. When we are positioned under God’s protection, in the secret place, it makes it difficult for the enemy to penetrate through to us (Ps 91:1).
