I do my best to being my personal prayers with acknowledging God and thanking God. It was taught to me that only after we lift up our praise to God are we in a position to speak to God about the parts of our life which are in need or assistance. This is the model of prayer in the prayer that Jesus taught us.
God has provided all that we need. What is lacking is the grace, or the will, or the wisdom, or the courage to use what God has already provided.
As is too often seen in the lives of those who hoard and accumulate excessive wealth, we too operate out of a false fear of scarcity. There is plenty! There is enough!
We ask only for the grace to use what thou hast already provided.
What need are you facing this day? Where are the places you are asking God to make his presence known? Do not stop lifting those to God, but remember to thank God for what has already been provided and to make full use of what God has given.
