Praying = Receiving

“Everyone who prays, receives” Jesus promises (Matthew 7:8). It’s not just this verse, but the entire New Testament that promises us that we will get what we pray for. If it’s up to God, getting what you pray for is not a possibility but a certainty. However, our experience with prayer is often very different. Every Christian can come up with examples of things that they have prayed for that they didn’t receive. How is this possible when the New Testament promises us more than twenty times that we will get everything we pray for? James says that we won’t get anything if we don’t pray right (James 4:3). This means that we can pray wrongly and then not get what we prayed for.

In this book, Tom de Wal takes us through the seven most commons reasons why we don’t get what we pray for, drawn from the Word of God. This book will help you deal with all of these reasons so that you will have a life in which it is normal for you to get what you pray for.
