How do you use prayer in your life? Do you pray and beg on your knees when you feel that you have no other option? Do you have a daily conversation with God? Are you asking from a place of "not having" or do you pray knowing that your prayers have already been answered?
Prayer for most people is like dieting; you do it after you've reached a level of frustration and helplessness. At some point, it's time to stop asking for guidance out of desperation, and begin everyday empowered with the knowing that all you have to do is ask.
We all have an inner guide that wants to help us experience the fullness of life. In order to discover it, we must first turn inward and shut out the outer world to receive the good that is waiting for us. Prayer is how we receive this guidance.
God has already promised to provide you with everything you want. Your job is just to ask. Don't get wrapped up in trying to figure out how it will happen, or if it's possible. If you can imagine it, God can surely provide it to you. God isn't too busy or uninterested in your life to care about the little things. He has his hand in your life to the smallest details. But you first have to ask, and then to believe.
It sounds so easy, but you may already be arguing, saying that things don't work that way for you. So let me ask you, are you in a place to receive the gifts that you've asked for?
Do you see yourself as a worthy recipient? You have already been given permission by God to ask for anything that you desire. That leaves nothing out! But everyday we sell ourselves short by taking what we feel we deserve instead of what God says we can have.
Let prayer and receiving be a crucial part of your day. Ask and know that it is already provided for you. Give thanks for the gifts that are still unseen. As you build your prayer muscles, just watch as miracles unfold!
