When we pray, we consciously decide to place ourselves in God's presence, seeking fellowship with Him and acknowledging our vital need for Him. Through continuous, unceasing prayer, we show our ardent desire for eternal fellowship with God, as prayer is the major way He gives us to demonstrate this desire. By talking to, spending time with, and experiencing life with God, we get to know Him better, which is essential for eternal life as stated in John 17:3.

Standing before God means being judged according to His standard. Every person is responsible for their actions and is judged based on their conduct. God's judgment is righteous and eternal, using His immutable laws as the measure. When individuals stand before God, they are evaluated by the same standard, which is God's law. This judgment is a process that considers all the facts and evidence of a person's life.
