Have you ever hung out with someone who finds it appropriate to say something and then if you don’t react, simply nudge you on the elbow while repeating themselves over and over again. Finally, you look at them and say something like “I got it”, or if your like me and don’t want to hurt their feelings, I say something like “that’s cool” or whatever is appropriate at the moment. Sometimes it hard for one person to listen to more than one person at a time, let alone actually do multiple things while listening to multiple people at the same time..pheew! That sentence wore me out!

God is omnipresent, right? We all know He is, so that means He has each one of us nudging His elbow very second of every day asking for something. You catch my drift here? We all want and need things from God but the correct way to go about getting those things isn’t to keep reminding Him. After all, He created memory, so He’ll remember the very first request or prayer you ever prayed. You only need to say it once! I have a bad habit of asking over and over for the same thing until I see it manifest. With the economy being the way it is right now, many are seeking jobs, housing, clothing and even food. many don’t know where they’ll sleep tonight and God knows all of that.

I say that to say this. To correctly obey God and ask Him for something, make sure you pray for forgiveness first-and-foremost. Get rid of all that bad junk you’ve got looming over your shoulder. Then, ask what it is you need from God the Father on behalf of Jesus Christ. (John 16:23)

There’s no need to ask Him more than once because He hears your prayer and if you believe, you have already received them answered. (Psalms 21:2). Does this mean you’ll be able to pray for a new Lexus and He’ll just park it outside your home so you may see it when you wake up? No. This means there has already been an answer set forth on that particular prayer and the answer will be revealed in God’s time, not yours. The Creator and Master of our universe doesn’t wear a Rolex and go by our time, so be blessed and keep your patience.
