1- Introduction
Jesus Christ, the very Son of God used to pray as he was living with us on earth some 2000 years ago (Luk 3:21; 22:32,39-46; 23:34-46; Mt 27:46; John 17), he taught his disciples how to pray (Luk 11), he even exhorted them to pray (Luk 22:40). We have many examples where the early church was used to pray (Act 10:9; 1 Tim 2:8); and we are urged by the Bible to pray all time (1 The 5:17; 1 Pet 4:7).
Is there any amazing thing about all that to be called mystery? Not yet, I think. But the amazing part is when it is said that even now, Jesus Christ our Savior prays interceding for us (Rom 8:36; Heb 1:3), sustaining the whole universe (Col 1:17; Heb 1:3), up to the point where even our move is possible only by him (Act 17:28), and the Holy Spirit of God, the One who knows the mind of God, he also prays (Rom 8:26-27), that's how everything can work together for our good; and when it is said everything, it means every-thing (Rom 8:28).
Why is prayer so important that none of the will of God happen but by prayer?
