I always wonder and is curious what other Christians ask for in their prayers?
When I pose my curiosity to another Christian brother, he revealed to me that he normally asked for blessings for his family, blessings in his work and, blessings of good health and prosperity for family and himself.
"What about you, Mao?" he asked me back with the same curiosity.
"Well! My request is rather simple. I ask God for His blessings of the Holy Spirit to guide, counsel, teach, comfort and guard my earthly life so that in everything I do, I'll do it together with my Saviour Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit to please God, my heavenly Father, bringing Him honor and glory," I replied.
"How can I be obedient and live my life pleasing God, my heavenly Father and Saviour of my soul if God had not gifted me with His Spirit?," I continued, "I am nothing but dust without the gifting of the Holy Spirit. I will never be able to fathom God's amazing truth."
The Holy Spirit is God's priceless gift representing His grace, mercy and unfailing love through His son, Jesus Christ, to us, who acknowledge that He is the Redeemer. The Holy Spirit identify us as His sons. And because we are His sons, we can ask the Father for anything that will bring Him honor and glory.
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him. Luke 11:13
Perhaps you may want to ask wisely the next time you pray.
