Which prayer Category?


Luke 11: 9 – 10
“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Jesus outlines the key ingredients for answered prayer: Ask—Seek—Knock
Our prayer routine should include these key components, and we must never stop asking.
Are you asking?

There are generally three types of praying people;
1)      The “Caught Off Guard Prayer”. This type of person generally only prays out loud when their asked to pray in public.
2)      The “Critical Crisis Prayer”. This person only prays when things are going to hell in a hand basket. They only pray for themselves when a crisis appears out of nowhere.
3)      The “Caring Prayer”. They prayer for God’s will to happen in the lives of others. They pray for the salvation of the lost. They also pray that new converts are discipled
           They generally only pray to see God’s will accomplished, in other people’s lives, and not their own.

Maybe today we should identify which “prayer” category we fit into.
Do we ask? Why do we ask? When do we ask?

Prayer is mightiest weapon that God has given the believing child of God.
How much, do you use that weapon
