Reflection
Points:
What are your most common prayer requests?
If you could ask God for anything, what would it be?
Why do you think God doesn't answer every prayer with a "yes" answer?
Is there anything in you that might hinder your prayers? (unconfessed sin? unforgiveness?)
Recall a time when God gave you abundantly more than you even thought to ask.
Power
Verses:
"Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:7 (NIV)
"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!" Matthew 7: 8-11 (NIV)
"For you know the generous act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that by His poverty you might become rich." II Corinthians 8:9 (NRS)
"I will sing of the Lord's great love forever; with my mouth I will make Your faithfulness known through all generations." Psalm 89:1 (NIV)
"Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them." Matthew 18:19-20 (NRSV)
