PRAYERS THAT GOD LIKELY HEARS THE LOUDEST
This is just my opinion, but I believe that God is very focused on prayers that are totally unselfish, that match up perfectly with the Bible.
Background: My wife makes about 15 pounds of candy and 15 pounds of cookies for the Christmas holidays. I have eaten some cookies, but I have only eaten 1 piece of candy so far. Why? It’s healthier.
James 1:14-15
But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
My desire is to be healthy. That is now my overwhelming desire.
It is the harder, but it is similar with gambling. Try this test. Say 100 times today: “My # 1 desire is to be free today.” When you are doing this exercise you will be surprised at how determined to quit you will be if severe temptation starts when you hit the 73rd time of saying it. Just repeating our goal over and over again starts to change us.
Pray, “Father, take away my spirit of gambling, and make my desire freedom.” How many times should we pray that daily?
Pray, “Father, take away this harmful desire, and show me Your glory.” Read “The God Chasers.” Tommy Tenney fought to find the glory of God. And everyone can do the same exact thing.
Pray, “Father, “Help me to study Your Word when I am tempted.” It is a powerful thing to study Bible verses that pertain to your habit.
Pray, “Father, take away my spirit of gambling, and make my desire purity.”
Pray, “Father, take away my spirit of gambling, and make it my # 1 desire to do Your will.” This is from the Lord’s prayer, “Not mine, but Your will be done.”
