Pray And Trust

Philippians 4:6-7

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

If you are reading this message, you probably had occasion to pray at some point in your life. What happened then? You are not alone. It is pretty hard to have faith in prayer, especially in the beginning.

1John 5:14-15

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us, and if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

The first thing you must do, is to find out what God's will is. It stands to reason that if you know His will, you can pray in agreement with God. How can a prayer that agrees with God, be rejected by God? Answer, it can't. God's will can be found in His Word, the Bible. After you pray, start thanking God for the result regardless of how you feel.

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Once you pray, and thank God, don't keep checking to see if it physically happened yet. It is however okay to remind God of your prayer.

Remember this important fact. Worrying is a faith killer, and a prayer killer. Start with things you can believe for. Your faith will grow to the point you will be able to believe for absolutely anything. One more thing. When you pray, don't make it a complaint session. God knows your problems, and He wants to help you. So get on with your requests and leave the complaints in the dustbin of life. After you prayed the important thing to remember is, let God do it, and get out of the way.
God bless you and your family.
Praise the Lord!
