How does the doctrine of election relate to prayer?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of election highlights that those who are elected will inevitably respond in faith and prayer to God.

Election speaks to God's sovereign choice in salvation, which is crucial for understanding how believers come to faith. The sermon discusses that while God's election is His secret will, effectual calling is what believers experience in their lives. It states that evidence of being among the elect is found in the act of calling upon God in prayer. Thus, the doctrine of election reassures us that those chosen by God will seek Him, and their prayers signify their awakening to grace.
