Prayer

So...I had a friend who asked me about wanting things in life. How we shouldn't settle for anything less(our purpose, a girl...etc). But what if our standards are too high?? What if we are "reaching" for the stars here? Well...I said that if you pray about what you want and it is something of God then give it time. Consistant prayer about what you want is what needs to happen here. Just keep praying. Talk about it with God. Is it something that will bring him Glory? I would say that with consistant prayer, God will bless you in his time and to his will. Being a christian is a selfless act. Everything is of God, our creator. So if he wants you to be a certain profession or be with a certain girl your whole life...HE will give that to you.

Luke 11:1-4
Once when Jesus had been out praying, one of the disciples came to him as he finished and said, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
He said, "This is how you should pray:
"Father, may your name be honored.
May your Kingdom come soon.
Give us our food day by day.
And forgive us our sins -
just as we forgive those who have sinned against us.
And don't let us yield to temptation."

This was the NLT version, so it may sound a little different.
