Praying is asking YHWH (with inserted vowels YAHWEH transliterated

JEHOVAH commonly interpreted the LORD). Praying the Word of God develops faith because praying Scripture assures that we are asking in keeping with the LORD God's will. In other words, "God said so, therefore we say so". Hence, prayer in keeping with God's Word assures that we are asking that which the LORD God has already gifted for the benefit of mankind. More specifically, The Blessing of Abraham (material blessings) and the fullness thereof (spiritual blessings, authority) by the redemptive work of Christ Jesus. Among many titles and/or descriptors of Jesus the Anointed One and His Anointing, the Prophet Isaiah (53:12) referred to Him prophetically as the Great Intercessor. Indeed, the Lord Jesus proved no stranger to prayer; praying even amid The Passion (refer to Luke 23:34). The Lord Jesus said, God the Father already knows what we need (refer to Matthew 6:8); to which it might be asked, "if God already knows what we need, why do we have to pray/ask?" Humanity must pray/ask because Genesis 1:26-28 tells us that the LORD gave man (i.e., male, female) dominion over the earth; and through the Prophet Isaiah (55:11), God firmly relays that whatever He says never returns void. Therefore, as

John Wesley stated, ". . . (God) can do nothing for humanity unless someone asks Him."
