God-Sized Prayers

August 9, 2024

Today’s Scripture

“You, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a house for him. So your servant has found courage to pray to you.”

1 Chronicles 17:25, NIV

Today’s Word

In 1 Chronicles 17, God gave David the amazing promise that one of his descendants would always be on the throne. He would have an everlasting dynasty. David could have said, “God, that’s impossible.” Instead, David understood this promise and dared to pray, “God, I’m asking You for something big, not because I have all the talent, education, and connections, but simply because You promised it.” The dreams God has placed in your heart may seem impossible. But you have to say, “God, You promised it; now I’m bold enough to ask You for it.” When you do, don’t be surprised if you have doubts. The enemy gets stirred up when you start asking God for big things. Doubts will bombard your mind when you start praying God-sized prayers and asking Him to take you places that you’ve never been, to touch a family member who has been off course, or to give you the hidden dreams of your heart. Negative thoughts will come: “Who do you think you are?” Just smile and reply, “I am a child of the Most High God.” 

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You that You created me to live an abundant life, not a small life. Thank You for the challenge to ask You for big things and to see the greatness of Your power. Help me to dare to ask big and to believe for what seems impossible. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
