‘But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! ‘ John 15:7(NLT)
‘He prayed, “O Lord , God of our ancestors, you alone are the God who is in heaven. You are ruler of all the kingdoms of the earth. You are powerful and mighty; no one can stand against you! O our God, did you not drive out those who lived in this land when your people Israel arrived? And did you not give this land forever to the descendants of your friend Abraham? Your people settled here and built this Temple to honor your name. They said, ‘Whenever we are faced with any calamity such as war, plague, or famine, we can come to stand in your presence before this Temple where your name is honored. We can cry out to you to save us, and you will hear us and rescue us.’ “And now see what the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir are doing. You would not let our ancestors invade those nations when Israel left Egypt, so they went around them and did not destroy them. Now see how they reward us! For they have come to throw us out of your land, which you gave us as an inheritance. O our God, won’t you stop them? We are powerless against this mighty army that is about to attack us. We do not know what to do, but we are looking to you for help.”’ 2 Chronicles 20:6-12(NLT)
Do you ever think that praying for what you want is selfish? Or do you know we should pray—but ever feel guilty about praying for what you wish would happen? Friend, Jesus says: “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you” (John 15:7).
In one of His final conversations with His disciples, Jesus revealed a very strategic secret that we would do well to remember also: When we abide in Christ, and His Word is in us, we can ask for whatever we desire.
Because when we abide in Him, His desires will be our desires.
Prayer doesn’t require lofty, magical words, but Scripture does give us established patterns for how to approach the throne of God and talk with Him about our needs.
Here’s a pattern taken from 2 Chronicles 20:6-12 which you can adopt when praying for your husband:
- Praise God.
- Thank God.
- Pray for blessings and intervention.
You can adapt this pattern for anything, really. But use it when praying for your husband and you could become a force for greater good in his life. In the next readying entry, we will give you examples of each of these prayer points.
