Many times our prayers are very generic...and we don't get prayers answered. Then we get frustrated, bored, lazy...Here's what he read:
Philippians 4:5-7
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Brother Rice encouraged us to:
- Ask who? Ask God
- Ask how? Specifically
- Ask for what? For every thing
Now, read the answers all as one sentence...ask God specifically for every thing.
After God answers a prayer, we should give Him thanks! I have some specific prayer requests that I'll be taking to the throne today...how about you?

Yesterday was, indeed, a blessing! I'm really looking forward to the rest of the conference. Sure hope everyone is feeling better at your house and that I will see everybody at church tonight!
By the way, wasn't it uncanny how much Wil sounded, preached and was just a carbon copy of his dad?!?! I loved it! Sure makes you aware of what we passing on without even knowing it:)
Happy Monday, friend!
