Praying In Faith

Do you ever think of the battle in which you have been chosen to participate? Scripture says, “Put on the full armor of God and then pray always at all times for all the saints.” (Ephesians 6)

To do so, we need to pray in faith. Jesus said in Mark 11, “When you stand praying, forgive if you have anything against anyone” (verse 25). He also said, “When you pray, believe that you will receive what you’re praying for.”

In James 1, we see, “If you don’t pray in faith, don’t expect your prayers to be answered” (verse 7). And Hebrews says, “Without faith it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11:6).

So when we are praying, we need to believe that our God is able, He is willing, and He cares—just as He says in His Word. He is likely to answer our prayers when we pray in faith.

So how do we pray in faith? Look at the faithfulness of God in the past and look at the faithfulness of God in His Word. As you are reading God’s Word on a daily basis, it will build faith in you.

Also, before you start asking God for anything, spend time thanking Him. It says in Philippians 4:6-7, “Instead of being worried about anything, instead in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

So if we spend time thanking God for his faithfulness in the past, it helps build in us a strong faith to begin to trust Him and pray in faith for the future.

Before you wrap up today’s devo, may I encourage you to invest a few minutes in listening to a song by Steven Curtis Chapman called “Warrior,” a song he wrote for WAR ROOM at theoverflow.com/warroom-devo. If you’re like me, you will be incredibly inspired to be praying in faith!
