John 15:7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.
Have you ever had someone ask you what you want for Christmas or your birthday and after you give them a response they respond by saying, that’s all you want? They ask this question because they expected for us to say more.
Guess what? God is the same way. When we pray and make our request made known to God, some of us are asking for the most minimalistic thing we can fathom. We lower our needs/desires because…
1. We want to lower our standards so that God can meet our expectations.
-The lower our standards are, the easier God can meet our expectation and if God doesn’t meet our expectation, we’re not too disappointed. This is a lack of faith.
2. We have minimalistic thinking.
-Some of us have been raised not to ask God for anything and if we ask God for something, we shouldn’t be greedy. This is minimalistic thinking. God promises us prosperity beyond our wildest imagination.
We should read the Word of God, know what God has promised, and expect God to manifest what He has promised.
Be Blessed!
