Bible prayers are powerful. They put things into perspective. When we pray let us first put our trust in the words in which we cry out to the LORD as we pray. For example, when that widow went before the unjust Judge in the Book of Luke, her plea was to the point; “Grant me justice against my adversary.” Coming before the LORD in prayer, make your petition known (we know that God already knows the situation), therefore let’s not pray amiss (improperly, badly, incorrectly). James 1:6-8 says “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the LORD; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”
Acknowledge Him for who He is and make your prayers God-centered. Praise and recognize who He is in your life. And remember to pray that no matter the outcome, pray to His Will to be done.
God knows just what we need even before we ask, we might not like the way some prayers are answered, but God knows what He is doing. In all things, He is working for our good, therefore let’s remember to place our trust in His hands. God never makes a mistake.
