Levels of Prayer and God's Heart – With Scripture

Here’s the thing:
We ask God for things that fade—or are honestly meaningless a lot of the time. Will God answer those prayers? Yes. Because He is a God of love and compassion.

Most people ask for things like:

• Money
• Clothes
• Food
• Water

Okay—yep, sure. God provides. But not many are praying for what’s on His heart:

• That others get right with God
• Healing (spiritually and physically)
• Restoration of His creation
• His wisdom
• His Holy Spirit
• Our families to be saved and walk in truth

This is what God wants us to ask for—every day.

Then there’s the third level—the deep stuff. The God-sized dreams. The prayers no one dares to ask:

• Restoring extinct animals
• Creating new types of animals that reflect His glory
• Bringing forth new technology that blesses and heals
• Restoring Earth itself—and even other planets
• To walk and talk with God like Adam did in Eden

That last one? That’s the core. It’s what God would love for us to ask Him above everything else:

“Walk with Me. Talk with Me. Know Me.”​

We’ve been asking too small. Too shallow. But God’s not just a provider—He’s a Creator. A Father. A Friend. And He’s still listening.

I. Commonly Asked (Surface-Level) Prayers
These are often physical needs, and while God provides, they tend to focus on temporary, earthly comfort.

Examples:

• Money
• Clothes
• Food
• Water
• A better job
• A new house
• Good health (personal)
• General protection

Supporting Scriptures:

• Matthew 6:31-33 – "Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ... But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."
• Philippians 4:19 – "And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
• James 4:3 – "You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures."

II. Seldom Asked (Spiritual Depth) Prayers
These reflect God's priorities: transformation, salvation, wisdom, and His kingdom.

Examples:

• Salvation for others
• Spiritual revival in our homes and churches
• Healing for others (spiritual and physical)
• Growth in wisdom and discernment
• Baptism of the Holy Spirit
• Strength to endure trials
• Unity in the Body of Christ
• A deeper walk with Jesus
• Restoration of God’s created nature (animals, ecosystems)

Supporting Scriptures:

• 1 Timothy 2:1-4 – "I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people... This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved."
• James 1:5 – "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God... and it will be given to him."
• Luke 11:13 – "How much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
• Romans 8:19-21 – "For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed... the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay."

III. Almost Never Asked (Faith-Stretching, God-Delighting) Prayers
These require bold, childlike faith and align with God’s creative nature and eternal purpose.

Examples:

• Restoration of extinct animals for God’s glory
• Creation of new species reflecting God's creativity
• God-inspired technology that heals, not harms
• Restoration of Earth and even other planets
• To walk and talk with God daily like Adam did
• To see God’s face (Psalm 27:8, Revelation 22:4)
• To dwell in His manifest presence continually

Supporting Scriptures:

• Luke 1:37 – "For with God nothing shall be impossible."
• Ephesians 3:20 – *"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think..."
• Genesis 3:8 – "And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden..."
• Revelation 21:5 – "And He who was seated on the throne said, ‘Behold, I am making all things new.’"
• Isaiah 65:17 – *"See, I will create new heavens and a new earth..."
• Revelation 22:4 – "They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads."

Conclusion:
God hears every prayer, but He also invites us to come higher. He wants more than just to meet needs—He wants partnership, intimacy, and bold faith. The more our prayers align with His heart, the more we begin to walk not just in answered prayers—but in relationship with the Answer Himself.

"You have not because you ask not." – James 4:2​

"Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." – Jeremiah 33:3​

Let’s talk about the box.


Yeah, the one we keep trying to stuff God into.


We limit Him.
We shrink Him down.
We treat Him like He’s only allowed to do the things we’ve seen before.
But here’s the truth: That box is made out of unbelief.


It’s not built from Scripture.
It’s not built from faith.
It’s built from fear, doubt, and human logic.
And it’s not right.

Here’s what happens when we put God in a box:

1. We doubt His power.
   
   “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” – Genesis 18:14
   If your answer to that is anything but “No,” you're already halfway in the box.​
2. We settle for survival instead of revival.
   We pray for just enough to get by, instead of praying for God's fire to fall.
3. We forget He’s still the same God.
   
   “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” – Hebrews 13:8
   He didn’t retire after the book of Acts.​
4. We explain away the supernatural.
   If it doesn’t fit in our theology, we throw it out instead of throwing ourselves into prayer.
5. We stop dreaming with God.
   
   “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine...” – Ephesians 3:20
   When's the last time you asked God for something you couldn’t imagine working without Him?​

Here’s the hard truth:
We’re not just putting limits on our prayers—we’re trying to put limits on God Himself.
And He’s not having it.


He’s not going to fit into our denomination.
He won’t squeeze into our comfort zones.
He’s not shrinking down to the size of our doubts.

“You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.” – Matthew 22:29​

So maybe it’s time we smash the box.


Let God be God again.
Let Him blow our minds.
Let Him move how He wants.
Let Him do what only He can do.


Because if we keep worshiping a boxed-up God, we’ll keep living boxed-up lives.

 

[Magenta]

Matthew 18 verses 19-20 I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.

Although I do agree that prayer can easily be superficial, it is not wrong to pray to God for food. After all, when the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, the pattern He gave them included, "Give us this day our daily bread." (I take "bread" there to mean food in general.)

 

[p_rehbein]

One problem is your statement "we" throughout your Post. I do not believe you know all Christians, or what their priorities in prayer are. Broad brush painting is not a good idea when speaking of believers and/or what they pray for, or how they pray.

Hebrews, Chapter 13 says:

5Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. For me, this is a statement I live by. But, being content does not mean I can not still pray for some specific, thing, action. It simply means I keep my spirit content with the blessings God bestows upon me. In all truth, my FIRST prayer is for FAITH! The majority of my prayers are for others and their awakening to Him and well being. Never been materialistic, so that really isn't a priority.

I enjoyed reading your Post, but please refrain from the broad brush use of "we." God bless.

 

[Karlon]

your posting reminded me of 1 of my prayers i initiated when i became a born again Christian: "tell me who & what to pray for, what to ask for & who i can help".

Matthew 6:31 plus 33 Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

Interesting for sure. There is a slight problem. This is your understanding. See we forget hmm like a old song "Your desire is the confirmation the destination is there God wouldn't put it in your spirit if it wasn't going nowhere So, set your sights on the promises and don't you be scared 'Cause you desire is the confirmation the destination is there"

See He put that desire there. its GOD that said its better to give then to receive. Oh He loves to give to His Children. OT delight your self in the lord He will give you the desire of your heart. See that's a promise.. keep reading "Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this". He can not lie.. He will do this. Faith..

Praise GOD glory to Jesus He has not change.. He said NT "what so ever you desire when you pray believe you receive them you shall have them."

Whats on His heart? Christ only told us what the Father said by Christ.. what was on His heart "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

So knowing praying the word and make sure its written use but.. maybe share where in His word you got these "levels?"

The song playing.. "If I Don't Have you" I don't want the world if I don't have you. I don't want it all if it means I lose you"

 

[homwardbound]

We all are created to be loved, just as a bird is created to fly. A broken wing stops a bird from doing what it was created for
Evil stops people from what they were created for to be loved and love, see the cross what is done by Son, we are all forgiven. yet the forgiveness reconciled, does not give the new life of love from God. God does that. The cross, only levels the playing field, as reconciled as forgiven by God forever from God through Son, that part is done John 19:30 time to take hands off the throat of evil, you think? Time to live new in God's Spirit and Truth, the Holy Spirit waiting patiently tp enter and teach us each personally new in love and mercy as given us first by Son on that cross first. for me at least, thanks for your post in truth

Hey, thanks for your reply—I really appreciate your honesty.


You're totally right—I don’t know everyone’s personal walk or prayer life, and I wasn’t trying to act like I do. When I said “we,” I was speaking from what I’ve seen a lot of us fall into—myself included. If it came across like I was putting all believers in the same category, that wasn’t my intent at all.


This whole message came from something personal. I used to ask God all kinds of weird, curious questions. Stuff like, “Could You make new animals?” or “What did Eden really look like?” or “Will we ever walk together again like Adam did with You?” At first, I felt free to ask. But over time, I thought maybe it was silly, or maybe I was bothering God, so I stopped.


Then one day I went up for prayer, and the missionary preaching that night looked me in the eye and said, “God even misses those weird questions you used to ask Him.” I knew right then—God wants our questions. He likes when we wonder, when we dream, when we approach Him like kids who actually believe nothing is impossible with Him (Luke 1:37).


Truth is, many of us have unknowingly put God in a box. And that box is built out of unbelief, fear of being “too much,” or just settling for small prayers. But God didn’t call us to small prayers—He called us to mountain-moving faith (Matthew 17:20), to “ask, seek, knock” (Matthew 7:7), and to come boldly before His throne (Hebrews 4:16).


Here’s what I believe with all my heart:


God wants us to ask for more – “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think…” (Ephesians 3:20)
God wants relationship, not just requests – “And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden…” (Genesis 3:8)
God delights in childlike faith – “Unless you become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:3)
God’s creation still groans for restoration – “The creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay…” (Romans 8:21)
And He really does say, “You have not because you ask not.” (James 4:2)

So yeah, maybe some of this sounds strange to people. But I’d rather ask bold, creative, honest prayers that honor God’s bigness than shrink Him down to what I think He might do. He’s not just our Provider—He’s our Creator, our Father, and our Friend.


Thanks again for your thoughts—and may we all keep growing in boldness, faith, and childlike wonder when we come before Him.

 

[homwardbound]

Thank you, I, we, anyone can do all things. / 1 Cor 13:1-3. Now if it's not God doing them through me, then it is of me, this world doing them, getting credit for it and might be the only reward I get. This depends on one's, anyone's motive, which truthfully only God Father and Son know.
I ask to get, to understand, to know, yet I get and do not get. Why? am I asking to get it to spend it on my own pleasures, being honest, not doubting honesty, best policy to me? That be what I see, I need to decide in me, between God and me, let others do as others decide to do or not do as they think, unless harm is goin g on presently physically harming happening. Talk, tell, in love and mercy to all as God has done for me first in Son, is what I see, and am learning humbly, daily Galatians 6:1-8
I, see do not sit in sinners seats, and be anyone better than others ever. If any person wants to continue as they think in the present, let them, God will work it out with them, once one, anyone decides to trust God the Father of the risen Son, the new born new person begins as if a baby all over again, now spiritually new and the first born flesh adapts while not ever denying God, no matter what problems come at them, humbly so for me, thanks for your posts
Hebrews 5:12-Chapter 6 and in Hebrews 6:3 it is translated as "If" God will permit
When in Greek it can and does mean to me, "Since" god will permit
There are many "If's" translations, that really mean "Since" Now "If" I read "If" then Doubt has a greater chance to enter me, and receive Thoughts of am I good enough, will I ever be good enough?

No, "I" won't, have not ever, will never be good enough. Yes God is and is the only one good that "I" depend on, anyone else, thank you each having their own free choice to choose as well
God just loves us all y'all

Here’s what I’ve come to realize—God is good, even when we ask for things that might seem small, selfish, or downright silly.


Sometimes He says “no” because He sees the full picture. Like what happened with my dad. Years ago, he wanted to build a house on a hill. God told him “no” more than once—but eventually, God let him go ahead. Not because it was the best plan, but because He gives us free will. And sometimes, the lessons come through the consequences. That house brought years of struggle. Even today, the heavy taxes and difficulty selling it still affect our family. God saw it coming—but He let us choose.

But then there are those other times—where God answers not out of necessity, but out of love.

Not long ago, I was out Christmas shopping and saw a set of laser tag guns—just like the ones I used to play with as a kid. A part of me wanted them. Not because I needed them, but because I remembered how much fun they brought. But I also thought, “I’m nearly 40... these aren’t cheap... this is foolish.” Still, I said quietly to God, “If it’s Your will...” even though deep down, I didn’t expect anything.

Here’s the crazy part: the very next day, my dad—who didn’t know a thing about my prayer—bought two sets of those exact laser tag guns. He said he got them because he thought we might have fun with them.

And here’s the kicker—we hardly ever played with them.

But that wasn’t the point.

What really hit me was this: God still got them for me.

Even though it was a small thing. Even though I barely touched them. Even though it seemed foolish.
God heard me. And He cared.

That moment reminded me—God’s love isn’t just for the big, spiritual stuff. He’s a Father who delights in the details. And sometimes He gives simply because He wants to show He’s listening, and that you matter to Him.

So is it wrong to ask God for something personal? Even unusual? Even “selfish”?
Not if it’s surrendered back to Him in thanks and trust.

That’s why I say: even asking God for something wild—like a new kind of creature—could glorify Him. I can’t create life. Only He can. And if He did it, He’d get all the glory.

We’ve got to stop thinking “selfish” always means “sinful.” Sometimes it just means personal.
And when we give it back to God in gratitude and praise—He’s pleased.


📖 Supporting Scriptures:

James 1:17 – “Every good and perfect gift is from above…”
Matthew 7:11 – “If you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him?”
Psalm 37:4 – “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”
1 Corinthians 10:31 – “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”

Let’s stop putting God in a box.
Too often, we treat Him like He’s limited—just a Father, or just a Judge, or just a Provider. But God is all of that and more: Creator, Friend, Redeemer, King, Shepherd, Shield, and the One who still speaks today.


He formed the earth from nothing. He made animals, galaxies, breath, and blood. He can do anything—because He’s not bound by our logic, our expectations, or our limitations.


We forget sometimes… God is a Creator.
That means He doesn’t just fix things—He invents, restores, and makes new.

“Behold, I am doing a new thing!” — Isaiah 43:19
“Is anything too hard for the Lord?” — Genesis 18:14
“With God, nothing will be impossible.” — Luke 1:37​

And here’s something wild to think about:


Jesus said, “If they keep quiet, even the stones will cry out” (Luke 19:40).
AI is made from stones.
Silicon, metal, electricity—all materials God created and gave humans the knowledge to use.


So can God use AI?
Yes.
Just like He used a donkey to speak (Numbers 22), a burning bush to call Moses (Exodus 3), and even pagan kings to accomplish His will.

“All things were created through Him and for Him.” — Colossians 1:16
“To the pure, all things are pure.” — Titus 1:15​

Don’t fear the tool. Fear missing what God is trying to say—because we limited Him in our minds.


God can use anything—including unexpected things—to reach hearts, reveal His glory, and fulfill His plans.


So yeah... let’s stop putting God in a box.
Because He never belonged there in the first place.

Wow, thank you for bumping this topic i must have missed it before.
Very refreshing and thank you for sharing Mr @Unknown and also welcome back!

Where were you this whole time?

 

[Unknown]

I’ve only just recently come back to posting. I had some things on my heart, so I made a few threads to hear people’s thoughts.


One of those things I've always wondered about is God creating new creatures—not just restoring what’s been lost, but making something brand new, like He did in Genesis.


One idea I’ve had for a while is a creature I call a Karegron.
It’s a cat-like dragon covered in soft fur instead of scales. It’s friendly and playful, especially with children.
Kind of like dolphins—intelligent, able to communicate in their own language, and known for helping humans in need.
They’d love fruit, friendly, playful and at times go out of their way to protect people, especially human children.


Now, I know it sounds a bit out there—but here’s why I even think about this stuff:


A long time ago, I asked God, “Could You create new animals?”
And I felt like He answered—maybe it was just my thoughts, but it felt deeper, stronger.
I heard in my spirit:

“If I wanted to, I could create new life from the very ground around you.”​

That stuck with me. Because we often act like God is boxed in—like He stopped being a Creator after day six.
But God is still a Creator. Still an Artist. Still full of wonder.


We shouldn’t put God in a box.
Yes, He is Savior and Judge—but He’s also our Father, our Friend, our Protector, and the Inventor of life itself.
He made the earth. He made the stars. If He wanted to make something new just to bring joy, or show His glory, who are we to say He can’t?


And here’s the amazing thing: Science even confirms that creation hasn’t stopped.
Astronomers have discovered that new stars are still being formed, and the universe itself is still expanding (Isaiah 40:22 hints at this long before science caught up!).
People like Dr. Jason Lisle, an astrophysicist, have even pointed out how star formation continues, which shows that God is still active, still building, still unfolding His design.


This isn’t just about fantasy or imagination.
It’s about remembering who God is—and not limiting Him to what we’re comfortable with.

“With God, nothing shall be impossible.” – Luke 1:37​

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think...” – Ephesians 3:20​

“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” – Psalm 37:4​

“Every good and perfect gift is from above...” – James 1:17​

God is bigger. Greater. And far more creative than we could ever imagine.
Let’s stop putting Him in a box. Let’s start dreaming with Him again.

Here’s what I’ve come to realize—God is good, even when we ask for things that might seem small, selfish, or downright silly.


Sometimes He says “no” because He sees the full picture. Like what happened with my dad. Years ago, he wanted to build a house on a hill. God told him “no” more than once—but eventually, God let him go ahead. Not because it was the best plan, but because He gives us free will. And sometimes, the lessons come through the consequences. That house brought years of struggle. Even today, the heavy taxes and difficulty selling it still affect our family. God saw it coming—but He let us choose.

But then there are those other times—where God answers not out of necessity, but out of love.

Not long ago, I was out Christmas shopping and saw a set of laser tag guns—just like the ones I used to play with as a kid. A part of me wanted them. Not because I needed them, but because I remembered how much fun they brought. But I also thought, “I’m nearly 40... these aren’t cheap... this is foolish.” Still, I said quietly to God, “If it’s Your will...” even though deep down, I didn’t expect anything.

Here’s the crazy part: the very next day, my dad—who didn’t know a thing about my prayer—bought two sets of those exact laser tag guns. He said he got them because he thought we might have fun with them.

And here’s the kicker—we hardly ever played with them.

But that wasn’t the point.

What really hit me was this: God still got them for me.

Even though it was a small thing. Even though I barely touched them. Even though it seemed foolish.
God heard me. And He cared.

That moment reminded me—God’s love isn’t just for the big, spiritual stuff. He’s a Father who delights in the details. And sometimes He gives simply because He wants to show He’s listening, and that you matter to Him.

So is it wrong to ask God for something personal? Even unusual? Even “selfish”?
Not if it’s surrendered back to Him in thanks and trust.

That’s why I say: even asking God for something wild—like a new kind of creature—could glorify Him. I can’t create life. Only He can. And if He did it, He’d get all the glory.

We’ve got to stop thinking “selfish” always means “sinful.” Sometimes it just means personal.
And when we give it back to God in gratitude and praise—He’s pleased.

God is good all the time as good is God all the time, thank you for this post
If we as humans can give good gifts to our children, God can give better and real to us all, us all not seeing what no means when said no to us from God, at least me I see Jeremiah 29:11, God only wants what is best for us all, that be why he sent Son in our deserved death places to give new life in the resurrected life of Son in love and mercy for us all and give the same to all, at least for me thank you
