Your Prayer Life

"The fact is, you do not have what you want because you do not pray for it." - James 4:2

Those that really know God can tell you that our prayer requests are a weakness to Him; there is nothing God wants to deny us. Over the past year, I have really been amazed at the things He does for me. Things that I even asked for in jest because I thought He wouldn't bother to listen to me about certain things… but He's showing me He always listens. And He always listens to you, too. James, someone who was close to the Lord, wouldn't write this verse if he didn't know it to be true. You don't have what you want because you don't pray for it. Do you pray with faith and dedication? A relationship with God isn't shooting up prayers when you want something and then not talking to God for a few weeks until you want something again. The Lord is faithful, be faithful to Him! Live in constant communication with Him and you will see God blessing you and showing you that He is listening and watching. He wants to love you, He wants to bless you and help you with all those things you carry around. Don't turn your back on His love, but develop your prayer life to see the good He wants to do for you.

Today's Prayer:
Lord God, sometimes I'm tired and sometimes I doubt… but despite all this, I do know You're there and that You love me. Put in me the desire to seek You day and night so that Your thoughts are my thoughts. In Your Name we pray, amen.
