Pray for His Sake\r\n* When you pray for His sake, you’re telling Him it’s for His glory; you’re asking Him to do something in accordance with His character\r\n* If we wanna bring glory to God, let’s talk to Him more!\r\n4. Remember, If It Wasn’t For His Grace...\r\n* We don’t deserve any good thing God gives us!\r\n5. God’s Response to Our Prayers is Immediate\r\n* God doesn’t have to “think about” anything\r\n* You may pray for something today that takes 5 years to come; God said “yes” the second you prayed, but you won’t be ready for it until 5 years from now!\r\n* God responds IMMEDIATELY—there...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/9Rumz9iaqKzN61Q3xbAHGQLPJV60Pl11sczJXQKJiY4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI4NjkvMTU2MTQ3/MzUwOC1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
