"Our praying is often just so predictable, so routine, and that is an insult to the God who's invited us to come to Him for "no small gifts." When's the last time you really believed God for some things that are so big that only God could do them? Or have you been praying you-sized prayers, man-sized prayers, earth-sized prayers? We're guilty of really underpraying and undertrusting! When you pray, take a little time to focus on the God whose awesome presence you have just entered - the One who controls 100 billion galaxies! Do you pray like that? Let yourself be overwhelmed...not by your problems or your questions, but by the size of your Lord! Then pray in ways that are worthy of the great God you're with!
The hymn writer had it right, "O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer." Remember, when you pray, you are in the presence of the King of all kings. Don't ask for small gifts!"
