I see our prayer sort of like the communion among the Trinity. It would be impossible to be brought into relationship with Elohim and not pray, IMHO, even as it is ridiculous for me to try to imagine Father, Son, and Spirit not in communication with one another. Unimaginable. Christ lives in us. Christ was always/is constantly/will ever be in communion with the Father.

When Christ was on earth He prayed. The Holy Spirit appears to be the Member of the Godhead that is our connecting point in time and for all Eternity - ever present, unseen, our Helper, Teacher, Comforter, and Intercessor on our behalf with groans unutterable when we know not how to pray ourselves. I've known for quite a while now that my personal 'best' prayers come from the Throne of God via the Spirit to me (often in hovering over the Word, but not always) and I get the awesome, holy privilege in Christ Jesus to send them back up!

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up!

Yes, I agree. There can be no relationship without communication, and there can be no communication without prayer.

Great parable for this subject. :) God actively WANTS us to pray to Him. He is not indifferent about prayer.
