John 15:7 "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you."
THIS Is the reason we pray daily. If you know God is going to do what you ask, you keep asking!
And the first thing we pray about is being fully surrendered to God in Christ because "abiding in Christ" is important if we want to ask God the right things for us and our loved ones. For example, those who are not "abiding in Christ" are not thinking of God's desires and may pray for such things as: 1. Please let me be successful at getting the attention of this attractive guy/girl. Instead of praying, "Father God, let me meet the godly mate you have for me at the right time & don't let me get distracted by wolves in sheeps clothing in the meantime."
Or 2. Father God, make "my wife/my husband/my friend" go to church with me! Instead of praying, " Father God, heal my wife's/my husband's /my friend's heart of all hurt, trauma, resentment and unforgiveness in Jesus name. Grant them repentance and bring them into an intimate relationship with you, Lord."
We want to pray God's desires for us because "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And, if we know He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked Him" (1 John 5:14-15)
So, if we ask AND God hears us when we are abiding in Christ...we keep on asking because we know we will receive what we are asking for!
This is confirmed in John 14:14 where Jesus says, "If you ask God anything in My name, I will do it." And in John 16:24, "Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive at that your joy may be full."
And in Luke 11:9, "...And I tell you ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you.
And in Matthew 7:7-11, "...ask and it will be given to you seek and you will find knock and it will be open to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread will give him a stone? Or if he ask for a fish will give him a serpent? If you then you are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
If you know God hears you, you keep asking daily!
Plus, god's instruction manual, His living word, the bible, tells us to pray daily...
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18—Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
And...pray about everything!
Philippians 4:6—Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.(because you know he heard you)
We love you and we are praying for YOU continually!
