Scripture
Psalm 116: 1-2 “I love the Lord because he hears and answers my prayers. Because he bends down and listens, I will pray as long as I have breath!”
Observation
1) God hears my prayers
2) God answers my prayers
3) Answered prayer increases my love for God. Answered prayer increases my thankfulness and I become a worshipper
4) Answered prayer motivates me to pray more
Application
I need to keep a record of answered prayer. The greatest discouragement to pray is thinking that God does not hear or answer but when I remember what he has done for me, my faith will grow. My desire to pray will increase. I need to establish memorials where I remember what God has done for me. Gratitude is the door to worship. A thankful heart is a worshipping heart.
Prayer
Thank you for all you have done for me. Thank you for saving me. Thank you for saving and restoring my family. Thank you for leading and guiding me. Thank you for your kindness and grace. I am grateful for your blessings and provision. I am thankful for your faithfulness and loyalty. I love you. I praise you. I worship you.
