Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that prayer is essential and aligns with God's sovereign will, as seen in 1 Timothy 2:3-4.
The Bible presents prayer as a vital aspect of the Christian life that willingly submits to God's sovereign will. In 1 Timothy 2:3-4, Paul emphasizes the goodness of prayer and how it aligns with God's desire for all men to be saved. This acknowledgment of prayer is not inconsistent with God's sovereignty; rather, it reflects His divine plan. Prayer is seen as a means through which God accomplishes His purposes, showing that while He is sovereign and determines outcomes, He calls His people to intercede in line with His will and purposes.
