God does not have a limited supply of answered prayers he rations out for certain situations. He has an endless supply for your needs. God doesn’t prioritize prayers. All of them are important. God is not inconvenienced by your requests. He loves when you take even what you consider the tiniest things before Him. He is a big God who wants to invest in big ways in your life. Don’t walk around settling for less because you don’t want to bother God. Stop trying to handle things on your own. Stop allowing shame to keep you from asking. Stop allowing what you deem small as small to God. If it bothers you in the slightest, it bothers Him. Get to know your creator and know how much He loves to meet your needs…even the smallest ones….even your dreams. For more, visit blog.
Challenge
Get out your journal and start listing the “small” things you haven’t prayed about. He cares about the water bill that hasn’t been paid. He cares about the scratch you have. He cares about how someone cut you off on the road and startled you. He cares about your marriage, your health, and the day to day decisions you make. Start taking them to God and know He is a limitless source of whatever you need. Since Week 1, you might have thought, He doesn’t care about my dreams…so many people are already doing something like this. Contrary, He does care and because He’s BIG, he will show you just how BIG of a deal your dreams really are.
DAILY DEVOTIONS
Day 1
“God said to Moses, ‘I Am Who I Am’; and He said, ‘You shall say this to the Israelites, ‘I Am has sent me to you.’” Exodus 3:14 (Amplified)
Prayer Lord, help us to know You are whatever we need at this very moment. How beautiful it is that Your entire being can fulfill each and every one of our needs. Please help us to embrace and make use of all you freely give to us.
Journal Reread the challenge. Simply write down one thing you have deemed small, insignificant or have been reserved in asking God for. Begin to make your requests known to Him and know He cares about them. You might have kept this request to yourself for years or tried to handle it on your own because you were too ashamed or didn’t want to bother God. Today is the last day for that! God cares about everything regarding you and is everything you need Him to be.
Day 2
“Casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].” 1 Peter 5:7 (Amplified)
Prayer Lord, help us to cast ALL our cares on You. We often discredit and devalue how we feel to the point of making no mention of our feelings to you. We NOW decide to release them because you value what concerns us.
Journal Yep, we are doing it again. Simply write down one thing you have deemed small, insignificant or have been reserved in asking God for. Begin to make your requests known to Him and know He cares about them. You might have kept this request to yourself for years or tried to handle it on your own because you were too ashamed or didn’t want to bother God. Today is the last day for that! God cares about everything regarding you and is everything you need Him to be.
Day 3
“If you then, evil (sinful by nature) as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give what is good and advantageous to those who keep on asking Him.” Matthew 7:11 (Amplified)
Prayer Your desire is to shower us with good gifts. Open our eyes to know even in the small instances, You desire to be an abundant source of blessing.
Journal And again… write down one thing you have deemed small, insignificant or have been reserved in asking God for. Begin to make your requests known to Him and know He cares about them. You might have kept this request to yourself for years or tried to handle it on your own because you were too ashamed or didn’t want to bother God. Today is the last day for that! God cares about everything regarding you and is everything you need Him to be.
Day 4
“Blessed and worthy of praise be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3 (Amplified)
Prayer Every blessing is attached to a spiritual blessing. The scripture above says You’ve already blessed us with them all. Therefore what we deem small, little, or unimportant is noticeable and lifted as a high priority in Your sight.
Journal Keep going! Write down one thing you have deemed small, insignificant or have been reserved in asking God for. Begin to make your requests known to Him and know He cares about them. You might have kept this request to yourself for years or tried to handle it on your own because you were too ashamed or didn’t want to bother God. Today is the last day for that! God cares about everything regarding you and is everything you need Him to be.
Day 5
“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become tired or grow weary; There is no searching of His understanding.” Isaiah 40:28 (Amplified)
Prayer Lord, You are never too tired or too busy to answer our requests. Please help us to know this and believe this.
Journal Don’t’ get tired on me! Lol! Write down one thing you have deemed small, insignificant or have been reserved in asking God for. Begin to make your requests known to Him and know He cares about them. You might have kept this request to yourself for years or tried to handle it on your own because you were too ashamed or didn’t want to bother God. Today is the last day for that! God cares about everything regarding you and is everything you need Him to be.
Day 6
“How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I could count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.” Psalm 139:17-18
Prayer You are limitless in thoughts and resources concerning us. We are always on Your mind. Let us serve You, knowing you have an endless supply of blessings for us and others. You don’t prioritize these requests. All requests are important to you.
Journal Did today present an opportunity to pray for something “small”? Write down at least one thing you have deemed small, insignificant or have been reserved in asking God for. Begin to make your requests known to Him and know He cares about them. You might have kept this request to yourself for years or tried to handle it on your own because you were too ashamed or didn’t want to bother God. Today is the last day for that! God cares about everything regarding you and is everything you need Him to be.
Day 7
He said to them, “Please listen to [the details of] this dream which I have dreamed; we [brothers] were binding sheaves [of grain stalks] in the field, and lo, my sheaf [suddenly] got up and stood upright and remained standing; and behold, your sheaves stood all around my sheaf and bowed down [in respect].” Genesis 37:6-7
“When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have established, What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?” Psalm 8:3-4
Prayer Please help us to know how much you care for us…the big…the small…the large…the tiny…all things are cared for by you regarding us.
Exercise Pray over all your “small” requests you noted this week. Get into the habit of taking everything to Christ and let nothing ever hinder you. Remember, He cares for you. He’s waiting to show you how BIG He is!
