Prayer requires faith!
Ephesians 3:12 says, “Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.”
What a privilege it is to approach God boldly and confidently in prayer! Imagine coming before His throne, fully assured that He hears us. But how is this possible? The verse makes it clear—the way is through of our faith in Christ. Our boldness and confidence in prayer rest entirely on our trust in Him.
When we pray with confidence, we draw nearer to God than ever before. It’s as if He leans in, bending His ear to hear every word we speak. That nearness is a beautiful reminder of the relationship God desires to have with us.
Here’s a thought to carry with you: “The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but un-offered prayer.”
Unanswered prayer is a matter of interpretation. Sometimes God’s answer is no, sometimes it is wait, sometimes it is yes. God answers in the way that is best for us.
Un-offered prayer is a matter of lack of faith. We do not ask, because we do not believe there is any point to it.
A great prayer life is a matter of faith. He waits everyday to hear from you.
