Praying and Receiving What You Truly Need

“When you pray don’t babble on and on. . . . instead just pray simply, for your Father knows what you need before you even ask him.”  (Matthew 6: 7-8)

Father,

   Thank you that sometimes you’ve answered my prayers by not giving what I’ve asked,

      And instead giving me what you know I truly need.

   Help me to pray simply for what I want,

      And expect boldly that you’ll give me what I truly need.

Amen
