Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name's sake.
Psalm 79:9


All things in creation were made to glorify His name. When we come to Him in prayer we must be humbled before Him and seeking His glory through our blessings. If we pray in accordance to His will and spread His glory through our answered prayer there is nothing He doesn't want to give us. The key phrase here is "according to His will", or simply, if our request goes along with the plan He has for us.

Be bold in prayer for He can provide more than we can even imagine but also be humble and do not enter prayer with a greedy heart. And always, remember His blessings with thanksgiving. Prayer is a conversation with the Father, share your troubles, victories, doubts, joy, sorrow. It is not a trip to Santa's lap giving up our "wish list".
