25 | What Is So Bad About Praying for Patience? God Won't Say, “I Told You So.”

from More Power Than You Think : Anatomy of a Christ-like Mind · host Jennifer Skaw - Bible Teacher and Singer/Songwriter

There is a subtle but powerful lie the devil is telling us that tremendously limits our impact for Christ. This lie keeps us full of enough fear to prevent us from taking action, thus preventing God from demonstrating His power in us and through us. If I said, “I prayed and asked God to teach me patience,” what would most people say in response? “Oh you are really asking for it now!” “You have no idea what you have done!” “That was foolish!” But why are we responding this way? Why is there such opposition and negativity towards praying such a prayer? The devil wants us to believe that if we ask God a bold prayer such as teaching us patience then 1) We are on our own and 2) The process will be a horrible ordeal. Well, let’s kick his lies to the curb and view this kind of bold prayer from God’s perspective! Listen to Jennifer's song "I'm Amazed" here Watch the video for this song here.
