SPECIFIC PRAYER
God wants His children to pray fervently and specifically: If we are trusting Him as our Saviorand walking in obedience, we can have confidence that He will hear and answer our prayers. Weneed to keep in mind that God is sovereign and knows what is best for us. God may answer ourprayer by saying "No" if what we're asking for will cause harm or drive us away from Him. Hemay say "Wait" if the time is not yet right for our prayer to be answered. Or He may say "Yes"immediately." While answering our prayer, He may even take us through the fires of testing.God wants us to approach the throne: of grace with boldness; brining our petitions before Him."Therefore let us draw near to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find graceto help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16): We should pray specifically so we can see Himworking, but never dictate to Him how to answer our prayer. That is His prerogative, for Healone is Lord!
