Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
I love these verses and yet they are some of the most difficult ones to deal with. God tells us straight up that if we ask in prayer and BELIEVE then it's ours. I think the thing that hangs me up is the believe part of the verse. I pray; I'm good at praying; I'm good at believing God will provide for those I pray for, but when it comes to myself, I don't believe. I think "Man, God is too busy for this little thing." or "I am being silly, God won't give me this desire/request." but the thing is, He wants to give me the desires of my heart (within reason).
I hope as time goes on I will learn to believe and trust that the Lord will give me the desires of my heart if they are in His plan. I don't need to worry about whether or not it's okay to ask for something, but simply believe God will give me the desires of my heart. I love you Jesus. Thanks for being a great God!
