Prayer is Building

Psalm 108:13 (NIV)  With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies. 

The Life Application Bible Commentary notes that David not only prayed for rescue, he prayed for victory.  Praying for victory is an entirely new concept for me.  But, I think it is high time I took God out of this neat and tidy little box I have placed Him in and start praying BIGGER.  Reading through the Book of Psalms is expanding my way of thinking of God; it is broadening my way of praying to God.

My prayers were usually pleas for relief from the moment, from whatever trouble loomed overhead. They addressed the immediate, demanding rescue from the moment.  They never asked for victory forever. 

God can do this, He wants to do this, but, I have heard it said that we receive not because we ask not

Psalm 108, 109, 110
