SPECIFICS ARE NEEDED IN PRAYERS

December 12, 2015 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

Luke18:41 "What do you want me to do for you?"

"Lord," he said, "I want to see!"

42 And Jesus said, "All right, receive your sight! Your faith has healed you."

I watched a stage drama some years ago. A brother was seriously in need of certain things in his life so he decided to pray about his needs. While praying, he didn't specify what he wanted, he kept blabbing repeatedly and all he was saying was 'Father do it, father do it'. He didn't say what the Father should do.

The blind man in the text above knew what he wanted and he got it right away. Many atimes, we enter the place of prayer with a burden but we do not specify to God what our burdens are. In the place of prayer, there's an angel waiting to pick our specific request and send it to the father.

It is a prayer crime not to be detailed in prayers. How would you know that God has answered your prayers if you didn't know what you want? Henceforth, you need to be given to details and specifics.

If it is possible, when next you want to pray, write out a list of your requests and pray them out one-by-one.

Action point

Father, I receive grace to be specific about my request henceforth In Jesus name. Amen
