Tell God What You Need

     

God knows  your heart. He knows what you need in every area of your life, but He wants you to ask Him for it anyway. Pray.

I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray.  Psalm 17:6

Talk to God just like you would talk to any good friend. Simply lay out your wants and needs to Him listing them one by one, if necessary.

     Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. 1 Timothy 6:17

     By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. 2 Peter 1:3 (Underlined for emphasis.)

Trust God that He will provide, although we all know that God answers prayers in His time—so what you ask for today, may not be answered today…or even tomorrow, but be assured that He has heard your prayers.

I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Psalm 116:1

Yes, trust God.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust God to hear your prayers and to answer them. Ask Him for what you need. Maybe ask for wisdom first…and He will give you that, too. Choose wisely the things for which you ask.

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. James 1:5

 

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6 (Underlined for emphasis.)

 

Prayer – Lord, hear my prayers. I’m unloading my heart to You. Forgive me for my sins…the unmet expectations…and unresolved conflicts I’ve had with You. Please give me wisdom and guide me as I’m walking with You day by day…moment by moment. Thank you for hearing my prayers…and for loving me in spite of my faults and shortcomings.

 

Meditate. Consider God’s response to your prayers.

 

Verse of Salvation ~ But I keep praying to you, LORD, hoping this time you will show me favor. In your unfailing love, O God, answer my prayer with your sure salvation. Psalm 69:13
