Are You A Giver? What the Holy Book says regarding Liberality and giving with a Cheerful and Liberal Heart.

What the Holy book says regarding liberality and giving with a liberal heart? As Christians, the Good book is clear all through pages we're called to liberally give. Indeed, even in the book of Mass migration section 35, we see the Israelites generally liberally giving the materials and time to assemble the sanctuary. In the event that any of those individuals chose to keep the materials they possessed or the abilities they had, the sanctuary could not have possibly met up. Push ahead some in the Holy book, and in Malachi 3:10-12, giving is the one thing God advises us to test him in. In the New Confirmation God himself gave us his main child since he cherishes us so much, and that Child passed on a cross for us. It sets a model that liberality in God's kin ought to be conciliatory. Here is a little testing of what the Good book needs to say regarding giving and liberality. What Book of scriptures sections discuss giving? 1 John 3:16-18 This is the way we understand what love is: Jesus Christ set out his life for us. Furthermore, we should set out our lives for our family. Assuming that anybody has material belongings and sees a sibling or sister out of luck yet has no pity on them, how could the adoration for God be in that individual? Dear kids, let us not love with words or discourse but rather with activities and in truth.

However, store up for yourselves treasures in paradise, where moths and vermin don't obliterate, and where hoodlums don't break in and take. For where your fortune is, there your heart will be too. Malachi 3:10-12 "Carry the entire offering into the storage facility, that there might be food in my home. Test me in this," says the Ruler All-powerful, "and check whether I won't open up the conduits of paradise and spill out such an excess of gift that there won't be room to the point of putting away it. I will keep bugs from eating up your yields, and the plants in your fields won't drop their natural product before it is ready," says the Ruler All-powerful. "Then, at that point, every one of the countries will call you favored, for yours will be a great land," says the Master All-powerful. Share the tale of Jesus.

He likewise saw an unfortunate widow put in two tiny copper coins. "Really I tell you," he said, "this unfortunate widow has placed in more than all the others. This multitude of individuals gave their gifts out of their riches; however she out of her neediness put in all she needed to live on." Luke 19:8 However, Zacchaeus stood up and shared with the Master, "Look, Ruler! At this very moment I give half of my assets to poor people, and in the event that I have swindled anyone out of anything, I will repay multiple times the sum." Matthew 6:1-4 "Be mindful so as not to rehearse your honesty before others to be seen by them. In the event that you do, you will have no prize from your Dad in paradise. So when you provide for the poor, don't report it with trumpets, as the deceivers do in the places of worship and in the city, to be regarded by others. Really I tell you, they have accepted their compensation in full. However, when you provide for the destitute, don't tell your left hand what your right hand is doing, so your giving might be covertly. Then your Dad, who sees what is finished covertly, will compensate you." Kids respond with energy after they get Yoobi school supplies at a school in Bridgeport, Conn.

In this manner they will rest up treasure for themselves as a strong groundwork for the approaching age, so they might grab hold of the existence that is really life. Matthew 26:6-13 While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Outsider, a lady came to him with an alabaster container of extravagant fragrance, which she poured on his head as he was leaning back at the table. At the point when the devotees saw this, they were angry. "Why this waste?" they inquired. "This scent might have been sold at an exorbitant cost and the cash given to poor people." Mindful of this, Jesus shared with them, "For what reason would you say you are irritating this lady? She has done something wonderful to me. The unfortunate you will constantly have with you, yet you won't necessarily have me. At the point when she poured this scent on my body, she did it to set me up for internment. Genuinely I tell you, any place this gospel is taught all through the world, everything that she has done will likewise be said, in memory of her." Book of scriptures refrains about what happens when we give 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 Recollect this: Whoever plants sparingly will likewise harvest sparingly, and whoever plants liberally will likewise procure liberally. Every one of you ought to give what you have chosen in your heart to give, not hesitantly or under impulse, for God cherishes a merry provider.

Prayers: 4 Reasonable Tips that makes you a Prayer Warrior.

Prayers: 4 Reasonable Tips that makes you a Prayer Warrior. I'm a want to be petition champion. I long to grow a more profound petition life, yet I have a mystery battle with weariness. I realize petitioning God conveys power and changes lives. However, when I plunk down to supplicate, I find it hard to center. Following three minutes, my brain ventures out back to the last time of Downton Nunnery or meanders to my daily agenda. Or on the other hand I attempt to ask before bed, however I nod off. Are petition weaklings a thing? I suspect I am one, and I'm passed on thinking about how to ask better. I don't intend to be saucy. Petitioning God is an astounding honor. Through words like these in sacred text, we have an open greeting from the Lord of the universe: "Call to me and I will respond to you." (Jeremiah 33:3a). We have a commitment that He hears us: "You will approach me and come and petition me, and I will pay attention to you." (Jeremiah 29:12) Through the pages of our Books of scriptures, we see instances of men who implored. Indeed, even Jesus, the Child of God, asked. So I realize I ought to, yet I think that it is testing. I suspect I'm in good company. Numerous Christians battle with knowing how to ask. For what reason do we battle with how to supplicate? Perhaps we over-spiritualize it. We assume we need to implore long and articulately for it to work, as a matter of fact. We measure ourselves with profound goliaths like Billy Graham or Mother Teresa, and we feel unfit and dishonorable. Now and again, we separate supplication from the remainder of life; we view at it as something we do at petition gatherings or in our calm time. When I read Paul's words in Colossians 4:2, "Dedicate yourselves to petition, being vigilant and grateful," I wonder… how would I give myself to supplication when I have an ordinary existence with a task and children? I fail to remember that Paul was most likely discussing a heart disposition, not a ceaseless supplication meeting or reflection time. Committed petitioning God is a heart's propensity to go to God at each turn in our day. 5 Hints for How to Implore On my excursion from petition weakling to champion, I'm finding a couple of viable tips for how to ask: Tip 1: Supplicate Just We could think we need to supplicate enthusiastic, powerful words so that God might hear us, yet in actuality, He listens even to our most limited "SOS" petitions. "The less the words, the better the request," said Martin Luther. Isn't excessively consoling? We can converse with God in ordinary language, very much like we converse with a companion. We don't need to ask long. God has a great time a straightforward expression of commendation, similar to "Ruler, I love you." He prizes the anguished supplication of a mother when she calls, "Recuperate my kid." He answers the least difficult solicitation: "Master, invigorate me for now." Tip 2: Read the Holy book and Supplicate Over Stanzas Have you at any point had an uneven discussion with somebody who talked consistently without paying attention to you? The discussion didn't go extremely far, right? We do exactly the same thing to God when we ask without perusing the Book of scriptures, His everlasting letter of affection and intelligence to every single one of us on the planet. Perusing Sacred text assists us with getting to know God. It carries life to our requests. If you have any desire to have a more viable discussion with God, read Sacred text. Give David's words access the Songs spice up your requests. Stop in the Stories of good news to ask over a stanza that strikes you, requesting that God work that reality into your heart. Let the expressions of Paul's letters give you explicit supplications for you and your loved ones. Tip 3: Make Petition Dynamic and Multi-Tangible Petitioning heaven develops dull when we transform it into a simply mental activity. God made us imaginative creatures, so for what reason don't we carry inventiveness to our times with God? Lighting a fragrant flame can convey a message to our minds: "Now is the right time to supplicate." It can carry a consecrated feeling of wonderment to a couple of moments of petition. Standing by listening to music can assist us with zeroing in on God. Many individuals appreciate doodling, drawing, or painting while they ask. I help my ADHD-tormented mind center around petitioning God by keeping a request diary. Making a rundown of solicitations keeps my brain alert; I stop to appeal to God for each request subsequent to writing it down. Once in a while I work out longer petitions to God like a letter. A request diary fabricates confidence when you think back over your petitions and review God's responses. Keep in mind, you don't need to sit unobtrusively to supplicate. My best petitioning heaven times occur out on the strolling trail. Asking resoundingly additionally assists me with keeping my psyche drew in, yet I save that for petitioning heaven times at home. Tip 4: Make Supplication a Necessary Piece of Your Day This section perplexes me: "Celebrate consistently, ask consistently, express appreciation in all conditions;" (1 Thess. 5:16-17). Is it truly conceivable to supplicate consistently? What about attempting an examination? Begin and end your day with petition. Lift up short petitions to God as frequently as you can over the course of your day. Ask over your timetable. Request that God assist you with your plan for the day. At the point when you hear a disturbing news report, lift what is happening up to God. Say a request for your life partner or kid as you give that person an embrace. Petition God for the individual you're conversing with. A companion of mine expresses gratefulness at whatever point she stops at red lights while driving. Search for petition minutes that work for your life. Tip 5: Ask Hopefully Petitioning heaven turns into a dead activity when we're not searching for replies. Jesus welcomes us to anticipate that God should work. "Ask, and it will be given to you; look for, and you will find; thump, and it will be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7) The amount really interesting petitioning heaven becomes when we keep our eyes open to look for God's responses! In some cases, I can't help thinking about the number of answers we that miss since we don't actually anticipate that God should answer. Recollect Colossians 4:2: "Dedicate Yourselves to Petition, being vigilant and appreciative." What about getting everything rolling today? Try not to get deterred assuming you get occupied as I do. Simply refocus. Supplicate and look for God's responses so you can express gratitude toward Him. He could answer uniquely in contrast to you expect, yet His response will continuously be preferable over what you had at the top of the priority list.

Why You Must Sin No More.

WHY YOU MUST SIN NO MORE.

"Ezekiel 18:20: “The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.”

The Bible tells us that the wages of Sin is death. But the fact is that our heavenly Father, the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, offers the gift of Eternal life for Jesus Christ gives us hope. According to Tim Challies by Tim Challies, of which I quote there is a great danger of be a sinner. Hear him more...  I have preached the truth a hundred times to others and a thousand times to myself: You can’t sin without consequence. That’s not the way God has structured his world. It’s not the way God has structured his people. For Christians, the ultimate consequences have been fully paid by Jesus Christ, but this does not mean there is no reason to fear immediate consequences. Here, with an assist from a favorite writer, are four grave dangers in every sin.

The Danger of Becoming Hardened

The first danger is the danger of becoming hardened. The fact is, sin means to harden you against the love and mercy of God. In fact, the ultimate aim of each and every sin, no matter how small it seems, is to fully harden you against God. John Owen warns you must, “Take heed, use all means, consider your temptations, watch diligently; there is a treachery, a deceit in sin, that tends to the hardening of your hearts from the fear of God.” Every sin nudges you toward a complete and utter hardness of heart. The fact is, your sin is always several steps ahead of you. “Is it not enough to make any heart tremble, to think of being brought into that estate wherein he should have slight thoughts of sin? Slight thoughts of grace, of mercy, of the blood of Christ, of the law, heaven, and hell, come all in at the same season. Take heed, this is that [which you sin] is working toward—the hardening of the heart, searing of the conscience, blinding of the mind, stupifying of the affections, and deceiving of the whole soul.”

The Danger of Divine Correction

The second danger is the danger of divine correction. Your sin may lead God to bring some kind of discipline against you, even though he still forgives you. “Though God should not utterly cast you off for this abomination that lies in your heart, yet he will visit you with the rod; though he pardon and forgive, he will take vengeance of your inventions.” God, as a loving Father, sometimes disciplines you for your own good. The love you have for your children sometimes leads you to discipline them for their sin, and the same is true of God’s love for you. The sin you long to commit may just bring his corrective discipline upon you.

The Danger of Drained Peace and Strength

The third danger is that sin may drain you of spiritual peace and strength. Your sin may bring about long-term consequences that will extend through all of life. “It is perhaps but a little while and you shall see the face of God in peace no more. Perhaps by tomorrow you shall not be able to pray, read, hear or perform any duties with the least cheerfulness, life, or vigor; and possibly you may never see a quiet hour while you live…” And all of this may come about because you chose to sin and you are now bearing the consequences. You cannot sin wilfully and recklessly without consequence.

The Danger of Eternal Destruction

The greatest danger of all is that if you continue in sin you may prove you are not saved at all and, therefore, face God’s wrath. “There is such a connection between a continuance in sin and eternal destruction that though God does resolve to deliver some from a continuance in sin that they may not be destroyed, yet he will deliver none from destruction that continue in sin; so that while anyone lies under an abiding power of sin, the threats of destruction and everlasting separation from God are to be held out to him.” While sin–even serious sin–does not necessarily prove that you are unsaved, continuing in sin without any progress against it, should stand as a serious warning. If you continue unrepentant in your sin, you prove you are not saved at all and will leave this life to face God’s eternal judgment.

PRAYERS AGAINST SIN:

Hear, Lord, the prayers we offer from contrite hearts. 
Have pity on us as we acknowledge our sins. 
Lead us back to the way of holiness. 
Protect us now and always from the wounds of sin. 
May we ever keep safe in all its fullness 
the gift your love once gave us 
and your mercy now restores.

Amen.

It Is Not Too Late.

IT IS NOT TOO LATE.

Glory be to God. Have you ever gone to a post office to post a letter with the mind of having the letter delivered the same day? Upon getting to the post office, you were told that you were too late and that the workers had stopped work for that day.
Have you ever gone to the hospital with a grievous illness? On getting there you were told that you were late and your situation was hopeless and that you should go back home.

  These are just a few of the instances where we meet with disappointment. However the good news is that the Salvation of your soul is not too late since you are still alive. It is not too late for you to make a u- turn to your Creator, it is not too late to heed the call of GOD, it is not too late to turn to the Lord God today. You have been wallowing in sin for too long but in so far as you are alive it is not too late for you. Your situation is not hopeless.  

   The patience of God is still waiting for you to take a step of faith to God through the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Way, Truth and Life- John 14:6. Jesus Christ says, "Whosoever comes to me, I will win in no wise cast out"- John 6:37. Jesus Christ says again, "Come unto Me all those who labor are heavy laden, I will give you Rest- Matthew 11: 28-30.

     Do you realize that there is just a step between  you and death? The word of God says, "It is given unto men to die only once, after this comes judgement- Hebrews 9:27. However since you are still alive, it is not too late to submit to your Creator.

Prayer For Safety And Protection Quotes.

PRAYER FOR SAFETY AND PROTECTION QUOTES.

The Lord is my Mighty one. He is my wide river of protection that no enemy can cross or that any enemy ship can sail upon (Isaiah 33:21). I am strengthened and helped by the Lord. I am held up by His victorious right hand, therefore all my angry enemies lie confused and humiliated.

Those who oppose me come to nothing. Those who try to conquer me are looked for in vain. Those who attack me come to nothing. The Lord holds my right hand and helps me(Isaiah 41:10-14).

The Lord watches over me sleeplessly. He is my protective shade and nothing in the day or in the night can harm me. I am lifted from the dust. They are struck with God's scepter and rod of punishment and fought by his mighty arm(Isaiah 30:31,32).

When going through the deep waters, he is with me. When I go through the river of difficulties, I will not frown. When I walk through fire, I will not be burned up, the flames will not consume me. Others are given in exchange for me. Their lives are traded for mine because  God had made me precious to Himself and has put honor on me (Isaiah 43:2-4).

I shall not die but live and show forth His glory in the land of the living .(Psalm 118:17).

Confession Of A Convert.

CONFESSION OF A CONVERT.

I was born to a well meaning parents who welcome me into this world with great Joy, lots of ceremonies and entertainments. I was given very good cares especially , in the area of feeding and family love. I attended good schools and and fare very well in my early life. Later, as the days went by, I found myself in the midst of some friends, purposeless, self governed, reckless peer group from above mentioned.

I learn to smoke, drink and also to flirt. We were more active in the nights than in the days . We involved in wild living , fights, violence, rape, dupe, rough and dirty deals. But, not quite long,I became a drug addict , a drunkard and a prostitute. I was often soaked in hot drinks, I drank much, and when drunk, I lost control of myself always. I became temporary mad and usually misbehaved like a fool, indeed a drunkard is a fool, as I really was. I was a fool in three main areas, namely, 1. In the area of my soul welfare . I mocked at the gospel of my salvation. 2. I was a fool in the aspect of sex. I was sexually faceless, reckless and shameless. 3. I was a fool in the area of money and time management.

How stupidly I involved myself talking too much about useless issues, , paying unnecessary, wasting precious time on matters  of little or no importance. It is a pity. I wasted my hole life as I foolishly wasted my towns.

But, one day  one glorious day, I read a simple tract and read some Bible verses quoted in it. Then I repented of my sins, confessed and forsook them. I gave my life to Christ who gave me a new heart and new life. So in the name of Jesus I become a new creature now in Christ.

PRAYER POINTS:
today, who oppose me come to nothing. Those who try to conquer me are looked for in vain. Those who attack me come to nothing. The Lord holds my right hand and helps me(Isaiah 41:10-14).

Danger And Deliverance From Cultism Meaning.

DANGER AND DELIVERANCE FROM CULTISM MEANING.

It was on 3rd of October, 2017. A Secondary School boy of about 16 years old made this startling confession: "I had a quarrel with another boy in my class and reported him to my cult partners. According  to the rule of cult: "one for all, all for one", they felt hurt and determined to revenge on him. They advised me to reconcile with him falsely, and entice him into a bush near the school premises. On getting there, four cult boys who had been in ambush came out suddenly on the unsuspecting boy and forced him to drink a ready poison and about five minutes later, he died and we ran away leaving the corpse. I also have committed sexual immorality with many categories of women, married and unmarried.

     Cults are spreading wide and growing wild day by day. The evils of cultism is eating deep into the social, moral, psychological and spiritual condition of our people. Many youths in the schools and many adults in the business world are secretly involved in cultism, in their sensual effort to pass exams, gain power, attain positions, make cheap money, gain popularity, win court cases, escape death by accidents and enemies attacks. Those who are involved in cult activities have some common characteristics: they are very secretive, heartless, bloody, violent, immoral and lack of fear of God and faith in Christ. Although they may appear pious of religious, they are satanic, wolves in sheep's clothing( 1 John 1:5 ), Leviticus 20:6, 27. Cultism has greatly increased the rate of evils, vices and atrocities and crimes in our society's. Armed robbery, drug addiction, violence, vandalism, harlotry, bribery, rape, homosexuality, corruption, murder, suicide, rituals, in almost all places, are all result of the demonic activities of cult men and women.

Their weapons of attacks include axes, knife, cutlass, dagger, gun, acid and many others. Cultism is sinful and God will punish it. Beloved, are you a cultist? Fear the sure coming judgement of God on every cultist. Jesus loves you. He died for you at Calvary. Turn to Jesus today. Repent and confess your sins to God. Believe in Jesus redemptive work and ask Him to deliver and save you today.

You Can Live Your Best Life Now. Don't Be Limited By A Lack Of Faith!

YOU CAN LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE NOW. DON'T BE LIMITED BY A LACK OF FAITH!
A woman shopping in Houston happily hummed a tune as she collected the items she wished to purchase and approached the cashier. The Clerk just stared at her for a long moment, as thou wondering what was wrong with her, offering an obligatory. "how are you doing today?". That is all it took. The woman nearly bubbled over. "How nice of you to ask! I am doing great. I am so blessed!"

The clerk looked at the woman quizzically for a moment and then said, "Let me ask you a question. Do you go to Lakewood Church?" "Why, yes I do. How did you guess?". The clerk shook her head and smiled, "I should have known. Everybody  that comes in here like you is from Lakewood." What a great compliment!

That is the way it should be. God's people should be the happiest on earth. So happy, in fact, that other people notice. Why? Because we not only have a fabulous future, we can enjoy life today!. Living your best life now means being excited about the life God has given you. It means believing for more good things in the days ahead, while leaving in the moment and enjoying it to the hilt.
Too often we get comfortable with where we are in life and use that as an excuse to remain in mediocrity. My parents were poor, we say with a pout. Before them,my grandparents were poor. Nobody in my family has ever amounted to much, so I guess I won't either.

Do not believe that lie. My dad came from the poorest of families. His parents were cotton farmers, and they lost everything in the great depression. My grandmother worked for 14 to 15 hours a day washing peoples clothes earning 10 cents an hour. They were good people, but nobody in our family line had ever amounted to much living instead under a curse of ;poverty and defeat. Let me challenge you the more. Do not travel the road for the next 50 years and be at the same place you are today. Maybe you came from a family like my dad where they did not have much. Perhaps you hail from a long line of divorce, failure, depression or mediocrity. You need to say. "Enough is Enough". I am going to start believing God for bigger and better things.
"Dream bigger dreams. God wants to do more than you can even ask or think. Start living your best life now!. Yes, but Joel, It is been a rough year. I have gone through so many disappointments. I have lost a lot of good things."Maybe so, but have you considered this: If it were not for the goodness of God, you might have lost it all. Why not be grateful for what you have? Quit looking at what is wrong and start thanking God for what is right. Get up each day expecting God's favor. This could be the day you get your Miracle. The day you meet the person of your dreams. The day your Child returns home. That is how you stay enthusiastic, even in tough time. You stay filled with hope.

What If I do all that and nothing happens? I hear you saying, I'll go to bed all discouraged, another disappointment. "No you can go to bed saying , God, even though it did not happen today, I am still believing for good things in my life, knowing that I am one day closer to a breakthrough. 

Friend, no matter what you have been through, no matter whose fault it was, no matter how impossible your situation may look, the good news is that God wants to turn it around and restore what has been stolen from you. Most of all, He wants to restore your relationships with Him.
Start expecting things to change in your favor. It is your faith that activates the power of God.
Without faith it is impossible to please God. Remember , if you obey God and are willing to trust Him, you will have the best this life has to offer- and more. You can start living your best life now in the name of Jesus. Amen.

God Of Consuming Fire.

GOD OF CONSUMING FIRE.

There are many people who think that it is only when they pray to God that help comes down. The greatest victories that the Children of Israel experienced manifested in an atmosphere of praise. There is always a point where you do not know what to do again, especially when you have done all you can. This is the time when you should begin to dance to the Lord and praise Him. Paul and Silas were unjustly thrown into the prison, when they did not know what to do next, they turned to praise. Because our God is a consuming fire, the next moment , all the doors leading into the prison flung open, not for them to escape, but for the people  to know the potency of the God they were praising. Are you in prison? Do you think there is something  very precious to you? Have you just received a sack letter or a negative medical report? Whatever is your case is, just begin to dance before the Lord This is a way of committing God to rise on your behalf. Today , God of consuming fire will crush all your enemies to death.

Dance before God over that your problems. When you dance before God and you praise Him with the whole of your heart, you will begin to enjoy divine favour and there will be a divine acceleration to your place of celebration. When you praise God, all your enemies become silenced because your dance will provoke God to rise in your defense.

PRAYER POINTS.
1. Father, please, remove everything that will stop You from rising on my behalf. Amen.

2. Jesus, let the power in your Name set me free. Amen.

3. O present help, please help me today to solve all problems in the name of Jesus.

4. My Father in Heaven, I decree according to your Word, every mountain threatening  my destiny is removed now in Jesus Name.

5. Father , as you consume my enemies with fire, please, make me to experience your mighty deeds this season in the name of Jesus. Amen.

7 Simple Daily Prayers Important For Christians In All Nations.

7 SIMPLE DAILY PRAYERS IMPORTANT FOR CHRISTIANS IN ALL NATIONS.

"But he know the way that I take, when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold"- job 23:10.

Prayerlessness is the great enemy of true happiness. If we give up on prayer, or refuse to pray, we surrender our seat at the very source of the highest and fullest joy. “You do not have, because you do not ask” (James 4:2).

But even those of us who do pray can find ourselves in danger of forfeiting prayer’s fullness as we fall into stale ruts of familiar words and repeated requests. We wake up each day, say the same prayers, and wonder why it doesn’t feel more real and life-changing.

As we walk through the valley of the shadow of rut, many of us just put our heads down and hope for better days. But the Bible speaks too often and too highly of prayer for us to stay here long. Yes, we may know the Lord’s Prayerby heart, but those five verses are not the only guide we have to help us pray. God has given us all kinds of routes out of daily ruts in prayer. Take Psalm 86, for example. Here are seven simple daily prayers drawn from David’s prayer.

1. Listen to my prayer.

Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace. (Psalm 86:6)

David wrote an entire book of divinely inspired song-prayers to God, so you would think he might know that God hears all our prayers. But over and over again, he still pleads with God to listen (Psalm 4:1, 17:6, 27:7, 28:2, 30:10, and more). Do you ever ask God to hear your prayer — or do you just assume he will?

“God will not lend his strength to selfish dreams, but he waits to supernaturally empower acts of self-less service.”

The ever-present help of God can make us prone to take him for granted. We hear, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you,” and quietly, even subconsciously, we begin to presume that God exists to meet our needs. That kind of entitlement, though, robs God’s promise of its power and empties our prayer-life of its wonder.

God Almighty, the sovereign and infinite Maker of heaven and earth, hears your prayers. Don’t ever, ever take God’s ear for granted. Know his holiness, and your sin, well enough not to presume he will listen, but for Jesus’s sake. Ask him to hear one more prayer.

2. Save me, and keep me.

Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you — you are my God. Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all the day. (Psalm 86:2–3)

In the face of all his enemies, David looked to our God for protection and deliverance. He was often surrounded on every side, threatened in every way imaginable. But he found hope and confidence in his sovereign, unchanging Father in heaven (Psalm 18:2).

We have an enemy far greater and more fearful than all of David’s enemies combined (1 Peter 5:8). He has planted his mercenaries at every turn (Ephesians 6:12). And we are helpless against his schemes without a warrior fighting for us (Ephesians 6:11).

You were saved, and you are being saved every day (1 Corinthians 15:2). You are being kept (1 Peter 1:5). But not without prayer (Ephesians 6:18). Each day is another new confident plea for protection and keeping:

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. (Jude 1:24–25)

3. Make my heart happy in you.

Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. (Psalm 86:4)

Humans were not created just to be rescued from sin, but to be flooded with joy in the Rescuer. Sin disrupted God’s ultimate plan for you; it didn’t create it. Jesus is not only a get-out-of-jail card, but a get-into-eternal-joy Savior and Treasure. God made you to demonstrate his worth by making you happy in him — not just by placing you in heaven, but by giving you himself.

God commands us to have that kind of joy in him (Psalm 32:11; Luke 10:20; Philippians 4:4). But any of us who have tried know we cannot put on joy like we put on a pair of pants. Something supernatural has to happen in our hearts, and the supernatural only happens one way: with God’s help.

No matter what you’re going through or how far away happiness feels, never settle for anything less than joy in the Christian life, and never assume you’ll find it without asking God for it.

4. Teach me your ways.

Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth. (Psalm 86:11)

Knowing the truth is not the end of God’s plans for everything you learn about him. He wants to see the truth come alive in you — in your priorities, in yourrelationships, and in your heart. A Christian is saved apart from our doing (Ephesians 2:8), but we are delivered into a life filled with doing, good works prepared specifically for us before we were even born (Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:10).

“Never settle for anything less than joy, and never assume you’ll find it without asking God for it.”

But the dots between what we know and what it means for our daily lives are not always clear. The dots between the One we love and the way we should live can often be foggy at best.

As un-American as it may seem, God doesn’t expect us to just figure it out on our own. He wants us to ask him for wisdom and guidance — “God, teach me your way” — and he wants to do the work himself, by his Spirit, through our working. Paul says, “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:12–13).

5. Give me your strength.

Turn to me and be gracious to me; give your strength to your servant. (Psalm 86:16)

Some of us do not need to be convinced to work. We wake up ready to tackle our to-do list and take on the world. We just forget to ask for help, or to serve in anyone’s strength but our own. That kind of effort may work for a while, but eventually we are out of gas and left with small, short-lived returns. “It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil” (Psalm 127:2).

Along with our prayers for guidance and direction, we need the physical and spiritual resources to walk and work well. Nothing of any real, spiritual, lasting value happens in our strength. “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain” (Psalm 127:1).

Work hard, but never in your own strength. Work in the strength that he supplies (1 Peter 4:11), and let him have all the glory he deserves. God will not lend his own strength to selfish or materialistic dreams, but he will supernaturally empower you to serve. He will give you the courage and resolve to lay down your life for others in the name of Jesus.

6. Unite my heart to fear you.

Unite my heart to fear your name. (Psalm 86:11)

Our sinful hearts trend toward division, not unity. More and more of our inner selves resonate with God’s heart, but rebel desires and impulses still linger as long as we live. To be a Christian is to be killing sin (Romans 8:13), which means sin must still remain to be killed (1 John 1:8).

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it.
Prone to leave the God I love.
Here’s my heart, oh, take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.

If we set our souls on cruise control, they do not move toward Christ, but in a thousand other directions. Remaining sin divides our attention and affection. Our frequent prayer should be that God rid us of that kind of spiritual divisiveness and unite our hearts in him.

7. Reveal yourself through me.

Show me a sign of your favor, that those who hate me may see and be put to shame because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me. (Psalm 86:17)

The goal of all of God’s favor to us — to every answered prayer — is not only our own hope, joy, and strength, but also a statement to the whole world. What happens in our prayer closets begins with us, and may focus on many of our situations and circumstances, but we should always be asking God to show the world what we have seen and enjoyed of him.

“To be a Christian is to be killing sin.”

Jesus, says, “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). Peter echoes the same, “Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation” (1 Peter 2:12).

We want our faith and our whole life to mean something to the watching world. We want unbelievers to know that our God is the one and only God. Even more than that, we want them to know him and be saved.

With our prayers, we ask God to take what he is doing for us, and in us, and do something dramatic through us in the hearts and minds of others.
