How Effective Is Your Prayer?

Prayer is an intimate, miraculous, powerful communication with God. It is a

personal connection with the Lord that in faith and utter confidence of trust, it can
even part seas and move mountains.
But there are times when you wonder why you keep on praying for a favor to
happen or for something to be given yet it seems like it wasnt heard. You will then
doubt if God is listening to your prayers.
This is the time to discern the effectiveness of your prayer or if it is about
time start another approach in worshipping God and presenting your requests.

HAVE FAITH. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when
you pray, believe that you will receive them, and you will have
them.-Mark 11:24. Believe and claim as if it has been done. When you
entrust and turn over to God all your concerns without reproaches then
through His will it will be given. Luke 1:37 states that For with God,
nothing is impossible. Everything from Him is perfect. All we have to do
is to rest our hope in grace and to have faith with no partiality. The Lord is a
Great Rewarder. He knows who is fervently waiting; we just have to hold on to
Him and never lose hope.

PRAY FROM THE HEART. Since this is a personal communication, treat God
as a friend, or a father whom you can sincerely pour your heart out. Humbly
ask for the forgiveness of your sins throu

gh Christ Jesus and seek help as you surrender yourself to Him. Do not pray
in a repetitive manner. Jesus rebukes prayers using repetitions. The Father
knows what you need even before you ask Him.

GLORIFY HIM. This is the adoration part wherein you offer praises and
glorify His works. The Lord is holy, kind and just. This is the part where
you thank Him for all the blessings, small or big that you have received and
to Jesus Christ who bore all the pain and died for us for the redemption of our
sins.

As you pray, always remember to ask it through Jesus .John 14:14 If you ask
anything in My name, I will do it. Prayers will be heard through genuine faith and a
sincere heart. Establish a deeper relationship with the Lord. Repent and totally
submit to Him and you will be rewarded.
