Desires of our hearts

--- Quote from: zander ---I agree with you to an extent Rodger.  However, my testimony is that i have prayed for physical things before and they have come answered.  I dont expect it to happen all the time, even most of the time, which is why i dont always pray for physical things

Remember that the verse in Mark says "What things soever ye desire.  That means anything you desire.  BUT that desire has to be in line with God's will and therefore you must have the faith in that prayer that God GIVES you.

To have a prayer answered you need faith.  Only God gives us faith.  Its God who determines whether we receive or not and that depends on the amount of faith he gives us, in prayer.  Fleshly desires may not hold much faith, hence why they can tend to go unanswered

James 5:15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.

As we grow spiritually, i think we have less fleshly desires anyway, so we eventually dont pray for them anyway

nice post zander.
here: we have confadence in FATHER

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?


 as we mature we move on to this:

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

 obviously this dosnt apply to the man providing for his family.


Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Andrew:
Mat 6:7  But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Mat 6:8  Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
