Prayer & Desire.

Psalm 37:4

God promises to satisfy the hunger of His people. Matthew 5:6
The hunger and thirst referred to in Matthew 5:6 is is your desire.

Prayer is very important to the believer.
Our desire is also very important.
What you desire is what you will aspire for.
What you desire is what you will pray about.
What you desire is what you want.
What you desire is what God will give to you, if you delight in Him.

God knows we fall emotionally sick when we don't receive our desire. Proverbs 13:12
Your desire is your hunger.
Your desire is what you will be passionate about before God and man.
Your desire is what will keep you motivated when others stop.

One of the major reasons we don't achieve the things we want is because we loose motivation.
We loose motivation to achieve what we want because we give up on our desire.

The Bible doesn't show us that Nehemiah heard a voice from God to go and build the walls of Jerusalem, but he had a strong desire to do so. As he acted on his inner desire he entered his God given purpose.
God puts desires inside people.

You know your desire is of God if it is good and benefits other people and yourself.
God answers the prayers we pray about the desires He put inside us.

There are desires that are of the flesh and when we give in to that type of hunger it makes us sin against God. 1 Corinthians 7:2
The way to overcome negative desires is to yield to the Spirit of God. Galatians 5:16
Desire (good desire) goes along with prayer.
The way to achieve the desires God has put in our heart is to delight in God and to pray about the desires. James 4:2

Prayer Points:

1) Pray about the good desires God has put inside you, ask God to give them to you. Psalm 37:4
2) Ask God to give you the motivation to achieve your desires.Job 32:8
3) Bring me out of every distress. Psalm 120:1
4) Every delay to my hope and desire, remove them O'Lord. Proverbs 13:12
5) Turn my captivity around. Psalm 126:1
6) Restore my life. Joel 2:25
7) Give me power to get wealth. Deuteronomy 8:18
8) Let my path shine brighter and brighter. Proverbs 4:18

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
