Word of God Prayer Worship

Slide 7: 

Luke 11:9-10 “… Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Slide 8: 

James 4:3 says “When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” Romans 8:26-27 “… the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.”

Slide 9: 

Secret-Formula Prayer vs. Seeking Prayer Pray to seek the Giver more than the gifts. Superficial Prayer vs. Significant Prayer The spiritual needs matters most. Showy Prayer vs. Secret Prayer Cultivate true intimacy with Him not impressions for others. Insistent Prayer vs. Submissive Prayer Welcome God to work in and through our suffering rather than begging Him to take it away. Thanking God for what He gives me rather than resenting him for what I lose.
