How does God respond to your prayers?

“Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4 

We all have needs. Some are related to money and others are emotional. And, we all have desires.

God has been speaking to me about this subject for a long time. Many nights I am awake for hours listening to God.

Last night God healed a woman living in the Midwest with a kidney failure.

God has the ability to meet your every need and bless the deepest desires of your heart.

Jesus tells us to seek Him first and He will meet all of our needs.

Unfortunately, we all know from experience this doesn’t happen with consistency and it seems like an up and down cycle with God. 

This is because we have a misconceived idea of how God fulfills His promises.

Walking with God is a journey and it takes many years to fit into the symmetry of His plans.

If you ask Jesus today to cover you with His blood you can then pray with confidence for strength, wisdom, joy and protection. These attributes of God will be given to you immediately. 

However, when it comes to praying for your materialistic needs it is a completely different situation. 

There are different seasons of life with God. They all planned to mold you into the character of Christ. There will be times of abundance and times of lack. 

God wants you to live by faith trusting in His promises but He has a much deeper goal in mind. 

God wants all of you! He wants your total commitment to Him and your obedience to His voice. 

God also wants you to reach out to Him for your every need without complaining about your present circumstances. 

We tend to forget who God is the midst of the troubles of life. 

We become fixated on our troubles and lose sight of the character of God. 

The attributes of God are power, greatness, glory, victory, and majesty. He has power and dominion over the heavens and earth. And, God exalts Himself as the head over all.

God knows you better than you know yourself. He is also omniscient and sees every detail of your future. 

God knows exactly how you will respond when He answers your prayers or delivers you from adversities.

God has two purposes in mind regarding your prayers. He wants to bless you while bringing glory to His name.

The workmanship of Christ is designed to create spiritual maturity and unyielding faith in believers so that nothing in life can effect your relationship with God. 

Without faith it is impossible to please God!
