The Secret of Specific Prayer

If we want God to answer our prayers in a specific way, we need to ask Him specifically for what we desire. God blesses specific prayers! In this teaching, Jamie Buckingham shares the Old Testament story of Hannah, a barren woman who prayed fervently for a child--and not just a child, but specifically, a son. God blessed her specific prayer with the birth of Samuel, who she dedicated back to the service of the Lord. From Hannah's example and examples in his own life, Jamie draws several conclusions about specific prayer, including: -God knows when the prayer you say with your lips actually matches the intent of your heart-God responds to the prayer of your heart, even when you don't have words to express it-When times are darkest, God is still listening--and speakingDo you have a specific prayer? God wants to answer it! The key is to come to Him with a childlike heart, an open ear, and a willingness to obey whatever He tells you.
