FAITH CAPSULE: Prayer gets the attention of God.

Psalm 40

A prayer that will not miss the attention of God is when asking to be doing the will of God.
In the prayer lesson, Jesus taught His disciples to pray for the will of God. (Matthew 6:10)
The will of God is His plans or thoughts concerning the life which God has given to His creation.
God confirms in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
God is a good God with good thoughts toward His children.
The good thoughts of God are not in the assembly line but already in place.
Understand and know to ask for the will of God over your life.
Jesus encourages, “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Luke 11:9)
The word did not ask to beg for what is in place for all. But with the evidence of having a desire for the will of God, you ask, seek, and knock to receive from Him.
Asking is praying or calling on God through the name of Jesus Christ.
Asking sometimes requires consistency or persistence, but the bottom line is that children must ask to receive.
Prayer does not have to be in multitudes of words or colorful words.
Prayer is not limited to time or location but prays with understanding.
A prayer encased in the word of God is with power prayer that moves mountains.
Faith has its source in the Word of God, and the Bible testifies mountains cannot resist, but the prayer of faith moves mountains.
Do you carry the word of God?
In your prayer, the word you carry will answer as fire to burn off the agenda forces against you, to the glory of God.
Jeremiah 23:29 confirms, “Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord…”
The word of God is fire.
With the knowledge and understanding in the word of God, know to ask and not fail to receive.
The way to receive from God is by positioning self by waiting patiently before God.
The prophet Habakkuk did not hide the secret of waiting on God to receive from God.
Habakkuk 2:1 records, “I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, and watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will answer when I am corrected.”
When you ask before God, do not fail to take the position to receive.
Know and understand to pray and receive.
Waiting with the patient is the way to receive.
Know to wait patiently, a way not to miss an answer.
King David testifies in Psalm 40:1, “I waited patiently for the Lord, and He inclined to me and heard my cry.” In his waiting, he positions himself to receive by being patient regardless of how long it takes him to receive an answer.

Prayer for today: Ask by thanking God for answered or yet-answered.
