Jesus gives us hope. We have hope for eternal life. He wants us to always do good. If the devil tempts us, we strive to be good and honest and win battles for good. God already won the war with Jesus on the cross, so even if we lose our battles, we are not lost.
It is amazing the realm of possibilities we can do. Our own influence is only limited by our imagination. You can pray for anything and know you won’t mess up reality. If we would screw up reality God will not will it. Prayer can do anything. It is like a super power that we all have. And the closer you walk with Jesus in goodness, faith, love and honesty, the more your prayers may be embraced by God.
Proverbs 28:9 If you do not obey the law, God will find your prayers too hateful to hear.
2 Chronicles30:27 The priests and the Levites asked the Lord’s blessing on the people. In his home in heaven God heard their prayers and accepted them.
So every day, you can pray for anything imaginable. Yes, pray the poor are fed, the sick are cured. That is huge. You can pray for other stuff too because a God’s power is not limited that since you ask for big stuff, you can’t ask for minor stuff. You can ask for a frustration less day. You can ask for your work to go well. You can ask that your vehicle stay in working order like God did for Israel’s sandals on the Exodus. If you go for a walk, you can pray to see wildlife God made. You can ask to see beauty in nature. You can ask for a beautiful spouse if you’re not married. You can pray for improved education. You can pray for research. You can pray for anything… literally anything, and God’s gonna hear it. So aim to pray selflessly as your core prayer…
Between day to day stuff, working hard, and having no limit except your imagination on what to pray for, wow, life becomes super meaningful with Jesus.
