Category: Making Requests to God

Philippians 4:6 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God…

With God, we do not demand or declare things to come.

But by a simple request, let it be made known to Him the things we are going through and the things we would like to see change. Then, we leave it in His hands, thank Him for whatever He does and the way He does it, bringing clarity and change to our situation.

There is a big difference between this and the way some are being taught today, being told that they can demand from God what they want done. This kind of teaching is off.

What does it mean to request something? It is an act of asking politely or formally for something. It does not necessarily mean we are going to get it, but it means we can request it.

Do not be anxious.

This is so important; anxiety is the first thing that hits us when we want something. We have to fight it off. We have to say no and push it down. We are to be anxious for nothing. But be prayerful, asking earnestly and humbly for the things we need.

Demanding of God to do things will not work.

Humbly ask Him and put our request before Him, and He will answer us accordingly. Be thankful for the answer He gives us, and trust that His answer is best for our situation.
