Prayer
Pray With Expectation
By Pastor Kevin Draper - Posted on August 4th, 2007
Based on: Luke 11:1-13
Did you hear what Abraham said to God in our Old Testament reading for today (Genesis 18:20-32)? "You wouldn't do that. You are not that kind of God, are you?" Then Abraham proceeded to haggle with God, coming back to God over and over again with his request. What bravado Abraham had to stand before the almighty God and talk to him this way. But Abraham had spent some time sitting at Jesus' feet. He had listened to God and heard God's promises of the Savior and promises to bless him. He knew God would answer his prayer and he knew God would bless him with the best, so he could be bold and persistent.
