Pray with Confidence

Prayer is our direct line to God. When we pray we don’t have to use elaborate words. We don’t have to pray long or make our prayers drawn out. We don’t have to repeat our prayers. We must know that even our tears are prayers to God. If our prayers are sincere and from the heart, God will hear us. He will answer.

Our prayers are how we communicate with God. We can go to him about anything. God loves hearing from his children. He wants us to talk to him. Before we talk to God, we should always come before him humble. We should block out all distractions. We should always ask for forgiveness so that our hearts are upright with him. James 5:16 says, “Therefore, confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The effectual prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” We should worship and love on God before we start asking things of him. We should honor and reverence him. He is I Am. When praying we should always believe God. Trust in his word. If it’s in his word and will for us, then it’s already ours.

We have to know that God is our source. We have to have faith when we pray. We need to be focused, real with God and to the point. Mark 11:4 says, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” That means we can’t pray and worry. Don’t doubt God for the things you’ve asked him to do. Completely surrender your needs and wants to him. Philippians 4:6 says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” God knows our needs before we know them. He knows exactly what, how, when and where to bless us. Stop wishing and move, live and behave like your prayers are already answered. Listen to God when he gives instructions and obey him. Be thankful and grateful for all he has done for you.

Go to God first. Believe God is working things out for us. Trust God all the way through. Move like your prayers answered. Be real and honest with God. Pray with confidence. He will answer. God is for us. May God bless and keep you.
