When we pray for something more than once, we’re not convincing God to do it. He is already waiting to give it to us but He just wants to know what’s really important to us.

Praying persistently tests our priorities because if it’s not worth praying about repeatedly, then it isn’t a priority.

What we spend our time thinking about

reveals what’s important to us. As a general rule,if we continually think about something, then it’s important to us. As a man thinks in his heart so is he.( Proverbs 23:7)

Jesus says in the Sermon on the Mount, “These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need” (Matthew 6:32-33 NLT)

When our priorities are right our Heavenly Father gives you all we need because our first concern is to live for His kingdom.

Today let’s meditate on the fact that God promises ,“The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right” (Psalm 84:11 NLT).When we’re living for Jesus,giving Him our attention and staying connected to Him then He is ready and willing to give us what our heart desires.Remember that God won’t hold back any of His goodness.
