Learn to ask audaciously from God

What Do You Want - Bianca Juarez Olthoff

Bianca Juarez Olthold talks about the purposes of prayer, she focuses in on the act of asking God boldly for what we need or desire. Bianca refers to scripture where Jesus asks a blind man what he wants from Him, emphasizing that God is ready and willing to respond to our bold, faith-filled requests. This should motivate us to move beyond passive desires and to consistently and actively ask God for the seemingly impossible (God size dreams), this audacity with faith can lead to insurmountable changes in our lives.

Takeaways

• Ask for Something Big: Identify something big you need or want that you think is impossible and ask God for it.

• Check Your Desires: Reflect on what your heart truly desires and verify if it aligns with God's will and word.

• Move Towards God: Make a physical or symbolic move closer to God by attending church, joining a faith group, or setting aside dedicated prayer time.

• Expect and Accept God's Timing: Exercise patience and maintain faith even when God's answer is delaying, trusting that His timing is perfect.

• Document Your Requests To God: Start a prayer journal to record your requests to God, helping you see when and how He responds.
