How do we know prayer is a privilege of children of God?

Answered in 1 source

Prayer is a privilege for God's children, giving them direct access to the Father through Christ.

Jesus teaches that to pray is to have an audience with the Father, indicating that this relationship is only possible through His sacrifice. As stated in John 1:12, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the power to become children of God." This shows that only those who accept Christ can claim God as their Father. When believers pray, they do so knowing they have the right to approach God based on the merit of Christ, which emphasizes the intimate relationship between the Father and His children. This access to God in prayer is thus a profound privilege that reflects their identity in Christ.
