The Desires of Your Heart A Prayer Series part 4 of 4
How do you pray? What do you ask God for? Do you stick to the basic necessities, emergency solutions, and safe travels? Do you ever pray for the things you want? Do you ever just open up and ask God for the desires of you heart? I remember my wife asking me if it would be wrong to ask God for a million dollars. What do you think? Is it wrong to ask God for a million dollars? Is it wrong to ask God for your dream house, dream vacation, the perfect job, or a brand new Ferrari?
Stealing God’s Identity A Prayer Series Part 3 of 4
Have you ever had your identity stolen? Do you know somebody that has? Identity theft has kind of become the adult version of a true nightmare in recent years. There is only so much you can do to prevent it. It can happen at any time, and if it happens it can do massive amounts of damage in an instant. I had a friend that had his identity stolen, his account overdrawn and it took months to take care of it. He struggled financially during these months because he had to wait for the bank to complete an investigation to take care of the overdraft fees. I have heard of more severe cases that took even longer to fix and at times it is impossible to eliminate all of the damage.
When God Tells Garth Brooks No A prayer series Part 2 of 4
In the song “Unanswered Prayers,” by Garth Brooks, the chorus states “some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.” Well Jeremiah 33:3 says “call to me and I will answer you.” So, the idea of unanswered prayers would seem to be false. Don’t worry; I’m not here to tear Garth Brooks apart or to say the song is an attack on Christian beliefs. I actually like the song and I understand when you are writing sometimes a little poetic license is necessary to make it all work. However, this song does help to illustrate the point I want to make.
