Do you know what you really want when you pray? As children and as servants of God, we need to remember that there is a "business" element of prayer. Specific requests will receive specific answers. When you order a product for your business, don't you expect to have it delivered? A good supplier will want to deliver to the customer's satisfaction. In much the same way, God desires to show us His acceptance and approval for the work we are doing by granting us our specific petitions. The biggest difference between “willing” for something to happen and “wishing” for it is that having a will leads to deliberate action. When we get our wills involved in our prayers, our approach will begin to be more definite. We will experience more clarity, sense of purpose, and a definite focus on God’s will, which leads to greater unity with Him, and, most importantly, we will actually begin to receive the things we are asking for.
