A husband shared a hilarious word of caution when praying. He asked the Lord for something, and He delivered. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what the husband prayed to the Lord for, and also why He is now urging others to exercise caution when communicating with the Creator of the universe.
Prayer is powerful, and easily the most important thing a follower of Christ can do. Yes, reading and studying the Bible and gathering with a family of fellow believers are good and necessary things, but none of them will ever top praying to the Lord God Almighty.
Gods Word, and more specifically, Jesus Christ, stresses the importance of prayer. He told His disciples when, where and how to pray. He even provided an example of a prayer, The Lords Prayer, which most people can recite entirely from memory. So, its impossible to undersell how crucial it is to pray to the Lord daily, to communicate our needs, wants, hopes, desires and fears to Him.
However, when praying, it is important to be specific. While He knows whats on our hearts and minds even before we come to Him, its necessary to vocalize those requests, needs, fears or whatever the case may be. In a clip posted on YouTube, a husband also shared why its important to be specific when talking to Him.
Years ago, I got down on my hands and knees, I said, Dear Lord, please send me somebody that is right, that is right, he said. And I wasnt specific. So, now, God, He sent me someone so right that Ive never been more wrong. I havent had a chance in my life, since shes come into my life to be right.
Later in the clip, he says his wife is so right all the time that everything he says, does and thinks is wrong.
Everything I say is wrong, he said. Everything she says is right. Every place she goes is right. Every place I go is wrong. Any thought I have is wrong. Any thought she has is right.
Hilariously, before the clip ends, she adds that he may not even be correct about his assertion that she is always right and he is constantly wrong.
Mark 11:24 For this reason, I say to you, Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it.
