Many people are disappointed in prayer. They pray and nothing happens. At this point someone will say “I tried it and it didn't work”. So what went wrong?
Matthew 21:22, And if you believe you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.
Let's take a look at the big picture, by looking at the facts. Prayer is not magic. Prayer is talking to God. The first step is to believe that.
It is almost impossible to believe someone you don't know. You can't really believe in someone just because a friend says someone can be trusted. That could be disastrous. It stands to reason that if you are to put all of your trust in God to answer prayer, you have to know Him. I didn't say you know He exists, I said actually know Him.
Romans 10:17, So faith comes by hearing and hearing comes through the word of God.
John 15:7, If you abide in Me, and My word abides in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
1 John 5:14, And this is the confidence we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
If you put everything, we have looked at together, we come up with one inescapable conclusion. We must know who God is, and we must know His will. There is one unmistakable answer to both of those questions. We must read the Bible. It is the written word of God.
Talk to God. Ask Him to help you in your search for Him and His will. If you are sincere, He will help you. After you know God, you can find verses on any subject in your concordance. Most good Bibles have one in the back. And as you are reading, you will also discover the power of Jesus' name, and the Holy Spirit as helper, guide, and teacher for you.
Don't miss another day of the awesome power of God. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus loves you.
Prayer of Salvation.
Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you.
Praise The Lord!
Amen
