𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆: 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀

When we think about prayer, many of us are taught to keep it simple—ask God for blessings, guidance, and protection. While this is true, there’s something powerful and profound about praying with specific intent. In John 14:14, Jesus says, “You may ask Me for anything in My name, and I will do it.” But did you know that the word “thing” in the original Greek doesn’t just mean any vague request? It refers to a certain thing. In other words, Jesus invites us to ask for specifics!

Too often, we pray general prayers like, “Lord, bless me” or “Help me with my finances.” While these prayers are sincere and God hears them, God wants us to be more detailed with our requests. He knows our hearts, but He wants us to be intentional about the things we desire and need. When we pray specifically, we show our trust in God’s ability to answer those requests. It’s like a child who asks their parent for something they truly want, and the parent, knowing their child’s heart, responds with joy. God delights in fulfilling our desires when they align with His will for our lives.

This concept is seen clearly in Mark 10:51 when Jesus asked the blind man, “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus, the Son of God, already knew the man’s need, but He still wanted to hear the request in full detail. The blind man, unafraid to be specific, said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” And instantly, his sight was restored.

What do you want from God today? Is it healing, peace, a job, or a restored relationship? Don’t shy away from expressing your needs clearly. God is not only able to meet them, but He wants to be involved in every area of your life. By praying specifically, you invite Him into those details, showing your faith in His ability to work miracles in those very things.

𝗕𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁: Take a moment today and make a list of specific things you want God to do for you. Bring those requests before Him with faith and confidence, knowing that He delights in answering prayers that align with His will. Ask for the “certain thing,” and trust in His goodness to fulfill it.
