The life of God is the spiritual substance inside God that makes Him God (John 5:26). It is also called living water (John 4:10, Revelation 22:1). It contains His attributes: power, love, wisdom etc.

It is important before we do in-depth praying in the Spirit to ensure that the abundance of our heart (Luke 6:45) is full of the life and power of God (Ephesians 5:18, John 6:63). This is similar to filling the tank of your car with petrol to ensure you can complete the trip.
