At some point in our walk with God we come upon a desire to do greater, to love greater and to please our heavenly Father in a greater manner! We desire so much more from God then we ever have. When you desire something, you will do just about anything to get it and will make sure it pleases you no matter what.

Sometimes when we start out in our relationship with God, we desire a deeper and more pressing prayer life. We go into prayer and we want to experience God on a whole completely different level. If that is our desire, then why not ask God for it? Many times we go into prayer and don’t know what we are praying for. Many times we are praying for other people and their situations. What about our own prayer life? What about asking the Lord to give us a deeper desire to go deeper?

James 4:2 says, “You do not have, cause you do not ask.” Why don’t we ask if our desire is to get closer and deeper in prayer? Is our desire to go deeper or to have a deeper prayer life real? Or are we just going through the motions of saying or acting it out? God knows our heart even before we do. God knows when we really desire more of him. We have to look at the big picture.

Going into a deeper prayer life and relationship with God is my desire and nothing is going to stand in my way. There are so many blessings that come out of having a desire to have a deeper prayer life and a desire to be close to God. We have to first be real and understand that all we have to do is ask!
