Ask from God in Faith

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Mark 11:24

Bringing your thoughts and needs in prayer to the Lord should not be a formal issue, but rather communicating a personal request to the Almighty Father.

There is a program in the schools which is called "Show and Tell". Kids bring whatever they wish and talk freely about it in front of the class. They tell it like it is. This is exactly what you need to do in talking to the Father.

Come as a child. Come as you are and speak out that which is on your heart. Don't be vaque about your petition. Never be afraid to be too definite in your prayers.

Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Matthew 6:8

God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
1 John 3:20

Nothing is hidden from God. Nevertheless, He desires to hear from you. Be very specific in what your needs are and what you desire God to do in your life. You may even repeat your needs a few times, just to make sure He has heard you (our human thinking).
This does not mean that your prayers should become mechanical, as in saying the "rosary".
Jesus warns for this. Our prayers must come from the heart, even if we repeat them.

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do.
Matthew 6:7

Jesus repeated His prayer to the Father, but this was a sincere ernest repeat. It was at the time before His crucifiction, shortly before He carried sacrificially the heavy burden of our sins.

And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
Matthew 26:44

You may approach God's throne through the Savior, Jesus Christ, and ask freely from the Father.

Thank You JESUS for making the connection to the Heavenly Father.

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Mark 11:24
