Be Obedient, Practice Effective Prayer, Thank Him, Confess, Commit & Plant Your Feet Firmly in God's Word Every Day (5.28.17)

We have confidence before GOD and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him - 1 John 3:21-22

Faith Believers,
Obedience is fundamental to effective prayer.
Only people who obey GOD have the right
     to go into His presence with requests.
GOD delights in the prayers of his obedient children.

When we want what GOD wants, and when we live the way He likes; then the Holy Spirit will place, in our hearts, prayers that GOD will answer.

If we expect GOD to do for us what we ask, we should be prepared to do for GOD what He asks. If we read and obey His Word, GOD will hear our prayers. Often when we do not receive an answer for something we have prayed for, we assume the problem is with GOD, while in reality the problem may really be with us.

Praise GOD as the Rock, your stronghold and fortress (Psalm 144:1-2)
Thank Him for being a solid foundation on which to stand spiritually,
     so that nothing can shake you (Matthew 7:24-25).

Confess those times in your life when you have stepped off the
     rock solid foundation of GOD’s Word, and relied on your own understanding.
Commit yourself to building your life on Christ’s teachings.
Ask GOD to help you plant your feet firmly
     in His Word each day.

~ Prayer ~
Gracious Father,

I give You praise for Your generous, giving nature.

Forgive me for failing to keep Your Commands
     and forgive me for not doing what pleases You. 

Help me to pray for those things which are
     in perfect alignment with Your Will for my life
     and for the glory of Your Kingdom.

Amen
