Prayer in the Bible Day 8: Prayers of Petition
Day 8 Scripture: Luke 11:5-13, Matthew 7:7-11, Luke 22:39-44, James 5:13-18
Prayers of petition are the most common prayers we make. Prayers of petition are those that are more about what we want or need, demands for guidance, prayers for help, or prayers said as a group. God created us to come to Him with our problems and requests for help and he always listens to these types of prayers.
God doesn't always answer are prayers in the way we want. I read a quote somewhere that said "when things are falling apart, the pieces might be falling into place." this is how God answers are prayers of petition sometimes. When we ask God for something we need be open to the idea that you might receive something different that you expect.
From my journal:
"Yet I want your will to be done, not mine." - Luke 22:42
God knows all and has already seen where we will go in life. When we ask for something or want to make a big decision / change in our life we should pray to God with what we want and ask God to share with us what his will is.
"Keep on asking and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking and you will find. Keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you." - Luke 11:9
If we are suffering, happy, ill or in need we should earnestly pray. Prayers offered in faith will have power. Pray, sing praises and have a close communication and relationship with God.
