Pray through your desires

We don’t have to be concerned that when we pray we are exhibiting selfishness. God is the judge not us. Therefore when we pray we must trust that if we praying with importunity (you don’t stop until you get an answer) God will lead us.

If we are praying for the wrong things: He will tell us and infuse us with character when He corrects us. He will also reassure us in his love that He is well pleased with us. He’s that good.

If we are praying for the right things: He will release them in time or send messages in your life so you know He is listening and might be waiting for the background to line up for your answer.

However, If we don’t ask and keep on asking then we miss out on the voice of God adjusting us or blessing us. Keep asking, He is faithful to give us good things.

Matthew 7:7-12 AMP

[7] "Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. [8] For everyone who keeps on asking receives, and he who keeps on seeking finds, and to him who keeps on knocking, it will be opened. [9] Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will [instead] give him a stone? [10] Or if he asks for a fish, will [instead] give him a snake? [11] If you then, evil (sinful by nature) as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give what is good and advantageous to those who keep on asking Him. [12] "So then, in everything treat others the same way you want them to treat you, for this is [the essence of] the Law and the [writings of the] Prophets.
