GOD invites us (His children) to pray because He delights in providing for us and He stands ready to do so. But He wants us to come in faith and ask Him to accomplish His divine plan in our circumstances! Not knowing GOD’S will for our circumstances can hinder the effectiveness of our prayers.
He says “yes” when our petition is in agreement with His purpose for our life. We need to pray GOD’S Word as much as we can!
What I mean by that is we need to use a verse, a passage or principle in His Word to back up what we are praying for. If we are unsure what we are praying for is indeed His will, then simply ask GOD to give it to us if it is His divine will to do so and to help us be satisfied with His decision for us!
1 John 5:14
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us.
Petitioning GOD with specific prayers by faith, free of doubt and aligned with His will is a win-win combination! This will result in an affirmative answer from GOD every time!
