Prayer Week: Growing in the Practice of Prayer - Phil Kendon
When we go to anyone with a request, we go to them in anticipation that they can help. If we need tax advice, we go to a tax consultant. If we need legal services, then we go to a lawyer. If we need instruction about something then we go to someone who is an expert in that thing. We can talk about needing a student loan or a housing loan to many different people, but at the end of the day, we know we have to go to someone with money if we are going to get what we need. If we need a loan – we go to the bank. I want to talk this morning about the ways that God is able to meet our needs with the hope of encouraging us to bring all our requests to him. We are going to do it by looking at one of the psalms – which is like getting a glimpse into the psalmist’s prayer life. We will see how the psalmist thinks of God. By the end of the psalm, we hope to have greater confidence to bring our prayers and requests to God because he is the one who is able to meet our needs.

When we fall in love we hope that this person will get to understand us so well that they know what we are thinking and even what we are about to say. God knows us even better than that.
A Father gets to know our actions and our patterns of behaviour. He knows when we are in a good place and when we are drifting. God knows us better than that.
A bodyguard covers all angles so the enemy can’t get a good shot. God is more protective than that.
There is no height, nor depth, no distance, nor division that can put us outside the reach of God.
God knows the terrain better than anyone. He leads us in ways that are secure.
He sees us even when we feel shrouded by evil or anxiety or depression.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made as he intended us to be and with his purposes in mind.
We can be confident that God has a plan for our lives, and he is able to see that plan fulfilled through his providence. He is the author of our story.
The thoughts of God’s mind are infinite and guarantee the wisdom of his counsel.
There is no shadow in God. He always speaks what is right, does what is right and fights against evil.
A therapist can help you understand yourself better and can help you become a better version of yourself. God examines our lives, identifies weaknesses, and helps us grow better than anyone else ever could.
Let us present our requests to God because he is able to meet our needs.
