Do My Requests Show Respect for Jehovah?

Jehovah is a loving Father who wants to answer our requests. But he is also our Creator and deserves our respect. (Rev. 4:11) How can you show respect to your heavenly Father when petitioning him?

Be sure that the things you ask for are in harmony with God’s will and that you have the right motive. (1 John 5:14) We must not allow our prayers to become selfish, focusing only on our own needs and desires. James warned first-century Christians that they would not receive an answer to their prayers if they prayed with “a wrong purpose,” that is, for selfish reasons.—Jas. 4:3.
Do not be demanding. (Matt. 4:7) Trust that Jehovah knows the best way to answer your prayers. And at times, his response may be different from what you expect.—Eph. 3:20.
Remember to thank him for the things he gives you each day. Imagine the joy you bring him when you tell him how grateful you are for his help.—Col. 3:15; 1 Thess. 5:17, 18.

DUMA 43 A Prayer of Thanks

a This article will explain why we can be confident that Jehovah will always answer our prayers in a loving and just way.

b FOTO MỊ EMIBARA MỊ: Two sisters pray before applying for the School for Kingdom Evangelizers. Later, one of them is invited, but the other is not. Instead of becoming overly disappointed, the sister who was not invited prays to Jehovah to help her identify other opportunities to expand her ministry. Then she writes a letter to the branch office, volunteering to serve where the need is greater.
