Recently the youth pastor at our church gave an amazing sermon on prayer. The part that hit me the most was when he posed this question: What if God said yes to every one of your prayers this week?
That really made me stop and think about what I am praying about. Sure, blessing our food and safe travels are great, but I want to be sure that every week I am going for the big stuff. If this is the week that he says yes to it all, then I want to make sure I pray for my friend that needs healing, and my family members that need to know Jesus, and my kids to make wise decisions.
I want my prayers to reflect what I believe God can do. I serve a great God and I want him to know that I believe he can move mountains!
1 John 5:14-15
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us-whatever we ask-we know that we have what we asked of him.
God answers many of my prayers, but I am going to intentionally prayer as if this is the week he says yes to all of my prayers. Hmmm... where shall I begin?
