BEING SPECIFIC

Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

The rag doll I showed 2 days ago was requested by a little girl who asked me to make her one with a blue dress in a purple box! She had a picture of it in her mind and that little girl knows exactly what she wants and she's not afraid to ask!😊

As I thought about that I remembered a pastor who asked the Lord for a desk, a chair and a bicycle when he was starting in ministry. The Lord told him to be more specific as he hadn't said what kind of chair, desk and bicycle he wanted! So he described what he wanted and that was exactly what the Lord provided.😊 Matthew 7:11 ...how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

I wonder if our prayers are too vague sometimes! Years ago we were moving house and I'd learned this principle of being specific, so I asked the Lord for a house with big windows. The Lord was very kind and we did move into a house with big windows.😊Thank You Lord.

When blind Bartimaeus called out to Jesus for mercy Jesus asked him what he wanted Him to do for him. It seemed obvious to everybody, but Jesus asked him to specify! (Mark 10:51)

He says the same thing to us today. What do you want Me to do for you?  He invites you to the throne of grace and says come and talk to Me about what you have a picture of in your mind (like the little girl) be specific and receive by faith My grace for everything you need, no matter what it is, new job, new home, provision for a project, healing in some area, or whatever.

May I encourage you to visit the throne of grace today?😊

Philippians 4:6 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
