You meet a friend whom who you love talking to and you love spending time around them, Reasons are probably the same always, because there are certain things you love about them right? Now there's a wrong perception about praying, People often consider praying as a duty, which is heart breaking, because praying is just like talking to a friend.
Now when you talk to your other friends around, it does get your point across, but does it give you any assurity that it would make any difference? Now here's the catch when you tell everything to Jesus, He Jumps in to help you, and don't even think about underestimating His powers, everybody knows what He can do, even then He is Nice and Humble, there are Millions And Trillions of people in this world who likes Him a lot, and it's all because He's a wonderful friend, Who will always be there for you, till your very last breath, Talk to Him and you would know.
