PRAYING GOD'S WILL | TROUBLES (4)

1. Praying God's Will

a) What should you pray for? Scripture is clear that you should pray God's word. At the same time, you must never forget that God is sovereign and that He is not obligated to a name-it-and-claim-it theology. God will always do what is best. But at the same time you will do well to understand that when you pray God's word, you are actually praying both the mind and the perfect will of God for yourself.

b) If you follow a systematic plan of praying God's will, you will see dynamic growth take place in your life. You will become the man God intended you to be.

2. Troubles

a) Lord, Your word says that You will allow no more troubles than I can bear. Today, even now, I pray Your word to overcome any troubles I may have. Please honor Your words as my prayers and take care of and strengthen me. It is in the authority of the name of Jesus that I pray. Amen.

3. God's Word

a) 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 New King James Version (NKJV)

8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.

b) John 14:1 New King James Version (NKJV)

14 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.

c) Isaiah 43:2 New King James Version (NKJV)

2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.

d) Psalm 138:7 New King James Version (NKJV)

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me;
You will stretch out Your hand
Against the wrath of my enemies,
And Your right hand will save me.
