DAILY PRAYER TOPICS

When most people pray (to be healed, find a job, etc.), they ask God once, maybe twice, and then give up. But Christ said, “ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?” (Matt. 7:7-11; Luke 11:9-13). Let God know that you are serious about your request.

Keep in mind that He seldom answers prayers in the way or time frame most people expect. God does things His way, according to His timetable. If a matter is important to you, do not pray about it just once. Come to God again and again, not in a nagging way, but with sincere, heartfelt petitions. Be diligent. Again, let God know how serious you are.
