The Power of Prayer God Already Knows what Your Needs are… The word of God says, “…don’t be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don’t worry about such things. These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need” (Bible verse: Luke 12:29-31). God already knows what you need before you go to Him in prayer; He’s just waiting on you to ask Him. Now, I’m sure you ask, “ if God already knows, why must I pray about it?” Well think about it like this: parents typically know the needs of their children before they ask for anything. However, parents normally wait for the child to ask First. Not because they don’t know the needs of their child but rather to wait and see if the child is going to ask for whatever they need. Our Heavenly Father does the same with us. God is more than able to meet and exceed the needs of His children. God is only waiting for you to go before Him in prayer and tell Him what your needs are; my question to you is, have you asked Him yet…??? Make Your Request Known to God The Bible tells us.. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” (Philippians 4:6); Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. I like this bible verse because it encourages us to make our requests known to God instead of worrying about everything which is something we seem to be good at doing. No matter what you’re dealing with; no matter how hard it may seem, there’s nothing impossible or too hard for God to do. God is more than able to heal your body, restore your marriage, save your household and etc. The only thing you have to do as a child of the Most High God is ask for it in prayer. For the scripture declares that “you can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it” (Matthew 21:22). I am a living testimony that when you make up in your mind to have faith, pray and to seek and believe God, He will move favorably on your behalf. I have prayed for healing, college grants, employment, direction, favor and etc and I have witnessed that God can open doors for you. Not because I deserve it (because I don’t), but because of God’s unmerited Grace and favor.
