DO YOU ONLY PRAY WHEN YOU NEED SOMETHING FROM GOD?

We human have learnt to channel our prayers only to do ask for what we need God to do for us, we only go down on our knees in prayers only when we are so burdened by something in life and we need solutions immediately that we turn   to God in prayers, but that shouldn't be the only reason why we need to communicate with our God.Yes it is said in the scriptures that we should ask God for anything and he will grant it to us, we should  also call on our God through prayers and he will pay ears to our prayer and come to our aid. He promised us all these and he keeps keeping to his promise as the scriptures says but have you  ever asked yourself this very important questions......

• WHAT DOES GOD WANT FROM ME?
•  DO I ONLY PRAY TO GOD WHEN I NEED SOMETHING FROM HIM?
•  HAVE I EVER BEEN SELFISH WHILE PRAYING TO GOD?
•  HAVE I BEEN PRAYING WITH THE WRONG MOTIVE?
• WHY DO I EXPERIENCE UNANSWERED PRAYERS ?

 JOHN 15:7 says '' if you abide in me and my words abide in you,ask for whatever you wish and it will be done for you", this excerpt from the scriptures pinpoints on what God wants us to do for him so that our prayers can be answered.But are we doing such? are most of us abiding by his will and laws as the scriptures tells us to?. The answer is NO!! but we all want  answers to our prayers, fast answers I must say.

 Brethren, when praying,your prayers should not only be channeled to what you need from God, also ask for his grace to be able to his will so that your own will can be granted by him.   

When praying, DO YOU PRAY WITH THE WRONG MOTIVES?.This question is the major reason why most people experience cases I described as UNANSWERED PRAYERS, praying with the wrong motives makes God play deaf ears to your prayers no matter how hard we pray because he knows we are using the products of our prayers for the wrong reasons. JAMES 4:3 says; "You ask and do not receive because you ask wrong and spend it all on passions". Why should he answer prayers that will keep making you far away from his grace, that will make you relent in doing his will?

 God wants all of you,he wants your attention, he wants your undivided love, he wants your obedience, he wants your company and he wants your life. You can give him all that he asks of you.
