Hello guest,

This is a very ambitious prayer request. But I like it. One thing I know is that God derives pleasure from our prayer.

[Prov 15:8]
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

God derives delight and pleasure in our prayer.

Secondly, I know of a man in the bible who had an ambitious prayer like you.

[1 Chronicles 4:10]
Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.

This is the prayer of Jabez. He asked that God will enlarge his territory, that God's hands will be upon him and that he will be free from pain. What I really like about this verse is the last part .. And God granted him his request.

I believe that we should all pray for more and believe God for more because He is a big God and He delights in granting us our requests as long as it is in line with His Word.

Let me pray for you.

Father in Heaven,
I lift up my sister to You. I know that You delight in our prayers. Even as she desires much, that You fulfill the plans that she has, I pray that You will cause these desires to be in line with Your desires and You will bless her superabundantly. I pray for her partner, that they will be equally yoked and share the same vision. I pray that You will show and reveal to her the plans that You have for her in her life. And Lord, enlarge her territory. Bless her financially, in her studies and in all ways.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.
