As long as what we ask for is developing and affirming our Christ-like character, He says yes. If our prayer request is for compassion, love, kindness, self-control, or faith strengthening, Jesus' answer is always yes. If our prayer request takes us out of His will, His answer is usually "No." Jesus will not answer prayers that take us out of His will or make us more prideful and self-serving?
Father, we are not worried about our journey because we know You are guiding us; and where You lead, Lord, we will follow because You are in control. Jesus, we believe that Your Word is accurate, so when times get rough, help us stand on Your Word and remove all doubt and fears. Lord, You are our world's Savior, yet You came to be a servant, not to be served. Lord, give us Your desire to serve others, and let us not think too highly of ourselves. Father, keep us humble and provide us with patience and ambition to please You, so help us walk in Your will. Jesus, teach us how to pray and help us teach our children and our children's children. Lord, help us examine ourselves and all that is not of the Spirit; please remove it, in Jesus' name; amen.
