\u201cD<\/strong>efinite requests bring definite results.\u201d<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

1 Samuel 1:11, 20<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

 11<\/sup><\/strong>And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.   20<\/sup><\/strong>Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 6:7-8 New Living Translation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

7 <\/sup>\u201cWhen you pray, don\u2019t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. 8 <\/sup>Don\u2019t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James 1:5 Good News Translation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut if any of you lack wisdom, you should pray to God, who will give it to you; because God gives generously and graciously to all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A friend once told me that when I prayed I should be specific. He said to write down what I was believing God for and be specific. He said if it has a color, a size or specific features then write that. Then put the paper away and don’t tell anyone else. The point was when I received what I was praying for I would know that it truly was God that provided because it was specifically what I asked for. It worked! I received EXACTLY what I asked from God. Now, remember we have to ask according to the Word of God. We do not use this prayer to manipulate people to do what we want. God wants to provide for us. Trust God with your needs and desires because He has your best interests at heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will pray specifically for my needs and desires in order to get the definite results God wants me to have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
