Wednesday Night

In response to Pastor Rick's question, "Why do you think it is so hard for us to pray?" (well, it was something along those lines): I think that most of us feel that God doesn't want to be bothered with the "petty" prayer requests. Or we feel that we have enough faith that we don't need to pray about something. For example, we might have faith that God is going to provide us the money that we need to pay the bills this month, so we don't bother praying about it. We simply say "God always provides," which is absolutely true. God does provide. And when the fincances come in and we barely squeak by with five dollars left over, we thank God for what He's done and go spend the rest on Taco Bell. Ok, maybe that's just me. But what if we were to really ask God to provide us with the finances that we need? What if we really prayed about it and put some time into it? I think that's what God wants to hear. I believe that if we were to ask, He will not only meet our needs, but He will surpass our expectations. "And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." Matthew 21:22 "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us," Ephesians 3:20 My question is this; Which takes more faith, just believing God to do what He has always done, or asking Him to do the unimaginable and impossible? Just another thought.
