Doubtful to Prayerful

Having been raised in a Christian home i was always taught Biblical principles. I have always gone to church (although i did stop going for a few years at one point) been around those who profess to be Christians & believed since about 5 in Jesus Christ. I read the Bible as i was supposed to do but alot of it was hard to make sense of, to muddle thru & ssssssshhhh i fell asleep ALOT! When i prayed it was i pray for this, i pray for that person & God bless us or bless this food. I never saw a great miracle or felt like there was some HUGE change in my life or those around me. I felt like it was a routine, something u had to do & it was expected. Not gonna lie........no wonder the things of the world seemed soooooo exciting! Now looking back i see that i was a little lost. Today i am growing, i can sense how different my prayer focus is & i am learning to claim the words God spoke. He has many promises we can claim, but we continue to stay on repeat! How BORED must God be?! Imagine if u had a gift to give a loved one & the only rule was they had to ask. What if you saw them every day & u could barely contain your excitement. Day after day you are there waiting (having previously told them many times in letters that if they need something or want something to just ask you) & every day they simpy jus say "HELLO! How are you? Hope you are well! Gotta go to work now im a little pressed for time........see you tommorow!" HOW FRUSTERATING! God must be so frusterated with us right now as an entire nation. He wants to pour HUGE blessings on us but is limited by our PRAYERS! By the way....can u communicate to your loved one by thinking in your head? NO! So why do we always try to pray that way to God? He wants to hear & there is power in SPOKEN words. There are promises all over the Bible where He says that He will be there for us if we ASK! Look in these next few Bible verses i will write & find the condition He gives us & then the promise. Write them out. Jerimiah 33:3, Matthew 21:22, IJohn 5:15-15, John 14:14. What Promise do you need most in YOUR Prayer life? The promis i need most is to BELIEVE i will RECIEVE. God gave me this "ask & i will do it" John 14:14.........also Phil 4:19 "God will meet your needs" (i am paraphrasing btw). If we ASK, then BELIEVE, He will DO! How much more pwerful my prayers will become as i put into practice this mind set! Thank you Father for giving me the meat i so needed today. Thank you for guiding me in your way with your words. Thank you for the fellowship i am feeling more & more every day with You :) I <3 you God...in Jesus's name Amen! GO TRY YOUR OWN PRAYER NOW!
