Mark 11:24

Mark 11:24 
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Jesus said that whatever we ask for in faith (Matt. 21:22), we will receive. That is, if it’s good for us and according to God’s will. God will never answer a prayer that is contrary to His will. The point is, when praying big prayers for what seems impossible, pray that it’s His will and that the name in which you pray, that is Jesus Christ, will be glorified by the answer because God is always interested in glorifying Jesus’ name (John 14:13-14).

 With God, nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37).

These men and women [of the Bible] never limited their prayers because they believed in a God Who has unlimited power.

Lord,
You have unlimited power. You are in charge, and that's good news for me. Because I want to be the loving person and spiritual writer that You created me to be. I pray for this book, which seems impossible. I pray that this prayer itself is within Your will, and that Jesus will be glorified in the book. 

With You, nothing is impossible. Your power is unlimited. Lily told me she has trouble believing in You, and oh, oh so do I! Lord, please show me how to believe, and how to encourage her to believe.

Yesterday I prayed for her class at school, and she did indeed have a better day. I continue to pray for Mrs. Love, and for the children in Room 104. I pray that they will have self-control, and show kindness to one another. I pray for Lily to have friendships, old and new.

I pray for the BSF year ahead, that Elizabeth and the other main leaders would be able to find more CLs, so that we have enough. I pray that the message of Revelation will come across clearly, and that hearts will be changed as a result of the study. I pray that MY heart will be changed!

I pray that the lessons I learn might be incorporated into this book.

I pray for the baby in Sara's womb, that it will flourish and grow strong and thrive, and that one day he or she will come to know You.

I pray for my dear, sweet children. That You would watch over them at school today.

I pray for Lee, who has been so kind to me these past five or six days since he went on Zoloft. Could this have been the answer all along? I'm happy and relieved, and also nervous. I'm out of practice, talking to Lee. It's been so long since he talked to me and seemed to care about me. Now that he is being so kind again, like he was when we first met, I'm a little thrown off. It's good, though. It's a chance for us to move forward, if this actually holds. Lord, I pray for my marriage and whatever it is that You are doing with it. I have been praying for Lee's healing in all aspects. Is this Your way of answering that prayer? I don't know. I don't have to know--I pray now that You would show me how to be his wife going forward. What does he need? Lord, prepare me, show me what I need to do. I want to be a good wife to him.

You alone control everything in the universe. Please help me to trust You and to keep on coming back to You. I pray these things in Jesus' name. 

Amen
