Petition or Complaint

Philippians 2:13-15

For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Do all things without complaining and disputing. That you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among home you shine as lights in the world.

It is common among the people who pray, to turn it into a complaining session. I suspect most of them don't even know they are complaining. Most people don't realize how God feels about it.

Numbers 11:1

Now when the people complained, it displeased the Lord, for the Lord heard it, and His anger was aroused. So the fire of the Lord burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp.

When we go to God to pray, and start telling Him about everything we think is wrong in our lives, we are in fact telling God that He messed up. We are telling Him that we could do better.

1Thessalonians 5:18

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

We live according to God's plan. He knows what is best for us, and tries to lead us back to Him. He knows what we feel, what we need, and what we want. He not only knows but He determines the best time to act. I learned a long time ago, I prosper in anything I do, when I listen to Him.

Philippians 4:6

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Mark 11:24

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Prayer is a special conversation with God. Do it in a quiet, special place, regularly if possible, at a special time. Tell Him every day what is in your heart. He wants to say yes. When you pray, if you believe it is as good as done, and thank Him immediately, you will have what you ask, at the best time and way for you. Most of the time God blesses you with more than you asked for. Just remember the fact that He loves you and is always with you and wants for you to come back to Him someday. So when you pray, leave the how and when to Him. God bless you and your family. Praise the Lord!.

Remember Jesus loves You
