The document discusses petitionary prayer through multiple quotes and passages from religious figures and texts. It provides perspectives on God answering prayers, the type of life one lives impacting answered prayers, and praying for strength, understanding of Christ's love, and for God to do more than can be asked or imagined according to his power at work within.

PETITIONARY PRAYER
“ A God that should fail to hear, receive, attend to one single prayer, the feeblest or the worst, I cannot believe in; but in a God that would grant every request of every man or every company of men, would be an evil God- that is no God, but a demon”- George McDonald PETITIONARY PRAYER
“ Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” (Mark 11:24)”. “ Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in my name, I will do it” (John 14:13) PETITIONARY PRAYER
“ We desire to receive all the blessings which saints received; but we forget that they were saints. We ask, why does God not answer my prayer as He answered that man’s prayer? We should ask, why is it that I have not lived the type of life, which that man has lived”? – Martin Lloyd Jones PETITIONARY PRAYER
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, PETITIONARY PRAYER
18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. PETITIONARY PRAYER
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. PETITIONARY PRAYER
