We pray for what we want.

We don’t want to wait for it.

And we expect it from man.

Wait for God and expect it from Him.

Psalm 62:5 (KJV) – my soul wait thou only upon God, for my expectation is from him.

We do want we want to do first, then do what we need to do and wonder why we fall short.

Give to our Father first and watch what He does with the rest.

Malachi 3:10 (KJV) – bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Do you love God?

Think about it, then answer.

If you really love God, you’ll do what He say.

John 14:15 (KJV) – if ye love me, keep my commandments.

Through this life’s journey, we pick up and drop off people along the way.

But God will always be with you through your journey.

He said, He’ll never leave you.

Hebrews 13:5 (KJV) – let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

We all need wisdom.

If you need it, ask God for it, and He’ll give it to you.

He’s waiting!!

James 1:5 (KJV) – if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

God knows what you’re going to say before you know what you’re going to say.

There’s not a word in your mouth that He doesn’t know.

Psalm 139:4 (KJV) – for there is not a word in my tongue, but, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.

Temptations are testings of your faith and works patience.

This is a good thing.

Count it all joy!

James 1:2-3 (KJV) – my brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

God knows you better than you know yourself.

He knows everything about you.

Psalm 139:3 (KJV) – thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

If you turn away from helping the poor, you will not be heard, not if, but when you need help.

Proverbs 21:13 (KJV) – whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

If what you pray for has the wrong motive, don’t expect to receive it.

James 4:3 (KJV) – ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
