Summary
Do you know how to pray to get your needs met on a daily basis? God promises to supply all your needs. However, you must pray and live according to His will. Everything you need is located in the will of God for your life.
Four requirements for successfully "praying in" what you need on a daily basis.
You must be in the will of God.
Be sure you remain in His will by doing the following:
Fellowship with Jesus through personal prayer and the study of His Word.
When you seek God daily, He will equip you with the ability, sufficiency, and might to do His will.
Draw near to God in prayer (Hebrews 10:22). iii. Do not forsake the assembling of yourself with other Believers (Hebrews 10:25).
Allow the Word to be imprinted on your heart.
Fellowship with other Believers in your church.
Be committed and submitted to your pastors.
Do not allow unforgiveness to take root in your heart.
Have diligent, balanced work habits.
Busy yourself with your own affairs (1 Thessalonians 4:11, 12).
Be a person of integrity. iii. Work, because work is honorable, and if someone does not work, the Bible says they should not eat; however, do not become a workaholic.
Live a balanced life with work and play.
Be obedient in your giving.
Receive God's blessing by paying your tithes (Malachi 3:10).
Refrain from developing an unhealthy attachment to money.
Believe it is God's will to prosper you.
A person with a poverty mentality will not receive God's best.
If you waver in faith, you should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
A multitude of blessings will overtake you when you obey God (Deuteronomy 28:1-4).
Whatever you give will be given back to you.
God wants you to prosper as your soul prospers.
This belief will give you the confidence to come daily before the Lord with your requests.
You must be specific.
Do not wait for God to do something you have not asked Him to do.
Pray for God's house, then your own.
When you take care of His house first, He will take care of your house.
You must be tenacious.
There was a widow woman who was extremely persistent in getting her needs met (Luke 18:1-10).
God promises restoration.
How do you recover what has been stolen from you?
Submit yourself to God (James 4:7).
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. iii. Draw near to God and do not get weary.
