Persistent praying pt II
Persistent Prayer clarifies my request.
A delayed answer gives us time to clarify exactly what we want. A delayed answer gives me time to refine my prayers – Do I really want it?
As a pastor I’ve heard many, many prayers. The problem with your prayers is they’re too vague.
When we pray, we don’t pray specifically enough. We say things like “God be with us.” He’s already with you whether you prayed that or not. You don’t have to pray that one.
We need to be more specific. The more specific you are in your prayers, the more dynamic they are, the more God can answer them.
On top of that, when you pray persistently, when you ask for something more than once from God, what it does is show what you really want. It shows your heart’s desire. It shows that you really mean business. If I don’t care about praying about something more than one time, it’s just a whim. It means that it’s really not that important to me. If I pray about something more than once it means I really care about this.
One, have a set time to pray, or else you will unintentionally neglect
Two, have a place to pray to shut out the cares of the world and steal away with God. Because prayer creates an atmosphere for intimacy with God, choose a quiet place conducive for private worship.
Three, find a way to pray. It may help to play soothing worship
Blessings,
Danny
