Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. (Philippians 4:6)
Peter Greig, author of How to Pray: A Simple Guide for Normal People, says:
“People often ask why we need to pray. Doesn’t the Lord already know our needs?
The story of Bartimaeus in Mark 10 reveals that it’s not enough to sit silently in the crowd wishing for a miracle. ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ Jesus inquires. He asks us to ask, invites us to articulate our specific needs.
Jesus says, ‘Ask for anything IN MY NAME, and I will do it.’ Praying in the name of Jesus means wanting what God wants, aligning our wills with His will, our words with His Word, and our personal preferences with His eternal and universal purposes.”
At DBBC, we believe that prayer changes circumstances and attitudes. We trust God to answer your prayers because He loves you so much. How do we know that He loves you? He made you. He knows every detail of your life. He gave you the capacity for pleasure. He has good plans for your life. He sent Jesus to die for you. And He will forgive you when you ask Him.
He never loved you any more than He does right now. He never loved you any less than He does right now.
