I was wondering, does God really want to bless us, and if so, how much?  This verse came to mind:
"He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8:32).
If God freely gives us all things, then why would we ask for small things?
I have prayed that my family would know the Lord.  Now I will pray that we'll know Him so well that when people are with us, they will experience the presence of Jesus.
Every day I pray that God will speak to me through the Bible.  Now I will pray that God's word will reach my heart instead of bouncing off my brain, and that His word will come to me in power, in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance (1 Thessalonians 1:5).  Here's an example of the Lord doing just that, even though I didn't pray for it:  I was listening to the radio in the van when I had a teachable moment, or what Jesus called "ears to hear."  The song was about the love that Jesus showed us when He died for us.  Not a new message, but I was amazed all over again that because Jesus saved me, I am not rejected by God, but instead I'm His beloved.  Oh that the Lord's voice would always hit me with such power!  It could.
One more prayer topic comes to mind:  I always pray for my husband Jeff and I to have a good marriage.  Now I will pray that he and I will be one as God and Jesus are one (John 17:22).
Pretty exciting!
