(S)cripture-
Mark 11:24 "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have already received it and it will be yours."
(O)bservation-
God allows us to come to Him directly with our prayers, but He wants us to bring our requests in confident faith that they will be granted. In this way our faith and belief is tested. God wants to give us the desires of our hearts, but only if they are aligned with godly things in accordance with His will. When we approach God in prayer we need to do it confidently and with the mindset that it is already a done deal, and then it will be so.
(A)pplication-
I think I can use help in this area. When I pray I need to be more confident that it will be done. I want to make sure my prayers are born out of things pleasing to God and in accordance with His will and not from any selfish desire of mine. I need to understand fully that God wants to give us the desires of our hearts and then go to Him boldly in confidence and belief that it will be done.
(P)rayer-
Father, thank You for being our loving God who is interested in our prayers and wants to gives us what we ask. I pray to You for help in having more confidence in what I pray for and believe in my mind that it is already done - You tell us if we do that then You will give us what we pray for. Please help me in this area and that I would be a great witness to others for Your Kingdom. Thank You for blessing me so richly and especially for my salvation through Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
