DAILY DEVOTIONAL ON PRAYER:


Ask and He Answers
 
What a delight to get an invitation – whether it's to a movie, a dinner party or a night out on the town. It means someone's thinking of you and wants to spend time with you. Throughout the Scriptures, God sends you an invitation…to pray. He wants to spend time with you and He wants to give you the desires of your heart.
Ask rain from the Lord in the season of the spring rain, from the Lord who makes the storm clouds, and he will give them showers of rain.
Zechariah 10:1
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
But, of course, there are guidelines such as delighting in the Lord (Psalm 37:4), asking with right motives (James 4:2-3) and according to His will (Matthew 6:10). As you spend time with the Lord in prayer, He changes your "wanter." As you read the Bible, you begin to want what the Heavenly Father wants.

Ask according to the desires He puts in your heart, confident that He will give them to you. Today's verse in Zechariah was written with assurance. Ask and He will answer (Matthew 7:7 and John 14:13). Be persistent and do not give up as you pray for your country to turn wholeheartedly to Him.
