As you prepare yourself to receive, consider the petition of the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15:21-28. Her petition was simple and clear, “Lord, Son of David – have mercy on me!” She did not limit Jesus, but simply pleaded for mercy – knowing how undeserving she was.

“If we know how undeserving we are, we would not come into His presence only to ask for healing, blessing, prosperity and the like. When we know how undeserving we are, we would come into His presence only to give Him thanks for His mercy and grace over our lives.”

Remember, her daughter was in need of deliverance from the demon that tormented her – but she did not limit Jesus to that particular need. Because she did not limit Jesus in her request, He gave her a blank cheque to draw from the unlimited resources available to her in Christ Jesus!

Prophet T.B Joshua said, “When we pray – we should not limit God to certain answers. Let your prayer be of thanks, not only for what He has done but also for what He is able to do. He is able to do more than we could ever dream!”

Therefore, don’t allow the situation you are in to dictate the direction of your prayer – leave all for God and let Him glorify His Name. What do you need to do? Simply ask for His mercy and forgiveness in humility and broken heartedness, because that is all you need! His mercy is enough for us because His mercy is unlimited. His favour is enough, because His favour is unlimited.
