Goal: Asking in prayer
Fellas, thanks for joining me today is day three.
Today we're still focusing on prayer, but today I want to focus on the content of our prayer time. The best part of talking with God is we're told to talk with him about anything. Jesus teaches us to pray this way in Matthew 7:7, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." It's as if Jesus knows we have an asking problem. Remember, God wants us to ask, Jesus guarantees results when we ask, and yet we fail to ask.
Today I want you to make a shortlist of 3 items you want to ask of God. It doesn't matter what's on your list; it matters more that you make a list. You can write down anything but not more than three items. And then I want you to pray out loud again for 5-minutes. Take the time to ask for what you need and maybe haven't been talking to God about. It might be useful to keep these on your prayer list for a while and see how God responds. If you get stuck consider items in these categories, we call them the 5 F's; faith, family, finance, fitness, and friendships.
So do this today, and then when you're done, comment below by typing your first name and one thing on your list, and I will personally pray for your request today.
Working on Day 3/4 this morning as the day got away from me yesterday….interesting how that happens. Only day 3 in, and life/other priorities can already take over…but back in the fight. :). One of the prayers on my list/asking God is perseverance with family. Having three young kids, especially two young boys they can easily run your emotions on high. My prayer and focus is to love them well, disciple and encourage them to train them in God’s ways and to not react to them because of my selfish ways and desires or impatience in a circumstance.
prayed for a smooth thanksgiving and it was delivered… i’m a couple days behind – but have some black friday ‘shopping’ and ask for minimalist help in making sure i don’t pick up things i dont’ really need? hah!
Good thoughts Mike. This is making me think too!
Excellent thoughts Mike
A smooth TG is always a blessing. Hope your kids were with you.

Praying for you
HEALTH – ever since last weekend we’ve been battling stomach bugs and colds, and that’s never fun and easy with little ones.
As for comments on the overall resource and challenge- I like the small additional “training” added to the foundation we’ve already started to build on prayer. And it’s awesome to have the added “Vince Miller prayer support”! I don’t know if you would plan to do that for every group or just this special trial, but it creates some extra encouragement for sure. Thanks brother!
