When we sit to dine in a restaurant we must tell the waiter what we would like. Soup or salad, ice or no ice, rare, medium or well done, etc. The more specific you are, the more enjoyable your meal will be. If we aren’t specific about what we would like, then it would be very unfair to be upset if we don’t get what we want. 

On the other hand, when we ask for what we want, we can expect it. The Word of God even says: 

If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. John 14:14 

We often ask for blessings but rarely do we specify exactly what we need. For example, there’s no use in asking God to make you happy, without specifying what it is that will make you happy. Don’t just ask God for a job, be specific about the kind of field you want to work in. 

If we are not careful, it’s easy to get into the habit of making generic prayers and forgetting to use our faith. There is something that you need right now but you have to use bold faith and ask for it.  

The Lord Jesus is telling us that we can ask Him for anything, we have to take advantage of this. Of course, God is not a waiter but He is a Father, He is giving us the opportunity to receive the best. When you pray be specific, do not be afraid to ask for what you want. 

Your quality of life will thank you for your specific prayers! 

May the God of the Bible bless you
