VERSES ABOUT PETITIONS
Let's bring all those requests to God in prayer. Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." God tells us that if we come to Him and pray according to His will, He will hear us. And when He hears us, we'll know we have the answer we've asked for.
One of God's most beautiful promises is found in Psalm 37. When you pray, focus on God, not your problems. Talk to Him, trusting that He hears you and knowing that His power is over everything. This way, you acknowledge God as the center of your life, and your prayer will be heard.
Even if it feels like God isn't listening, never stop praying. Sometimes, God becomes a shoulder to cry on, not necessarily to take away our problems, but for us to vent. Our prayers can be filled with complaints, anger, even rage, but we rarely tell God that we trust Him, that He knows our problems and can fix them.
Your Heavenly Father loves you, and in His time, He will answer those requests. Remember, God's timing is perfect. You can find many verses in the Bible about bringing your requests to God. Read them and grow your faith every day. God bless you.
