Be Expectant
God's power is released when we pray in faith, trusting and believing Him, because faith pleases Him. Expectancy is an attribute of faith that carries its own kind of power - the power of hope. Faith reaches out into the spiritual realm and expects God's supernatural power to show up and do what no person on Earth could do. Doubt, on the other hand, is afraid nothing good will happen; it does not please God and is not something He is able to bless. We are powerless when we live with doubt, disappointment, and a lack of confidence in God.
Just think about a time when you were not really sure God would come through for you. You were not able to pray very powerful prayers, were you? Now recall a time when your heart trusted completely in God and you really believed that He would come through for you. You were able to pray then with a certain sense of power, weren't you? That's the power of expectation in prayer. Even if things don't work out exactly the way you hoped they would, trust God to know what is best and keep expecting Him to do great things.
God's word for you today: Expect God to do great things in your life and pray boldly.

About this Plan
In today's world we're surrounded by noise. We become overwhelmed by the voices around us - our children, friends, spouse, even ourselves. Distracted by these sounds, we soon forget how to listen to the most important voice of all - God's voice. This devotional offers short, empowering reminders that will inspire and help you to make time with God your top priority, develop a passion for daily time with Him, understand His responses to your prayers, and maintain your relationships while spending more personal time with God. Start your day with someone who not only loves you more than you can imagine but also has all the answers you'll ever need!
