When you ask God for something, ask with an attitude of gratitude. Thank God for his love and promises. Thank him for his kindness and faithfulness. Get specific. Make a list today of the things you are thankful for. Then, before you ask God for anything, take a few minutes to tell him thank you for what he has already done. The more you thank him, the more you will learn about his character. And the more you learn about his character, the more faith you will have when you pray.
I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed: “O Lord, you are a great and awesome God! You always fulfill your promises of unfailing love to those who love you and keep your commands.
This is where you turn your thoughts into prayer. It could be a prayer of gratitude or praise. It could be a prayer of confession or a request for God's help. It's up to you. But take a minute to write a prayer of response to God.

What did God say to you as you read today's Bible passage? What word or phrase was most meaningful to you?
What do you think?
What does this passage mean to you? How does it apply to your life?
What is your prayer?
