God makes big promises, but sometimes it takes courage to believe we will see them come true. Faith is believing God is who He says He is and can do what He says He can do. But courage is living, speaking, behaving, and praying in a way that shows we are confident those promises will come true for us.

When we make big prayers, we’re not making demands of God or trying to boss Him around, we are just asking to see what He promised come true. When we pray, we need to have confidence that God finishes what He starts. It takes courage to see God’s promises through to the very end. This week’s verse in context actually recalls Elijah’s prayers as an example of this kind of courageous request.
