The prayer of faith

Morning: Psalms 5, 6; Amos 3.1–11; 2 Peter 1.12–21
Evening: Psalms 10, 11; Matthew 21.12–22

‘Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive,’ says Jesus.  For some, that means prayer is asking God to satisfy your priorities, and, if you really believe, God will deliver. Sadly, that sounds like if you don’t believe strongly enough, God won’t deliver. But God is true; you cannot twist his arm! … Well, how can you know what God wants?  You may get closer to that by getting to know God … Prayer is mostly seeking the will of God. Then you will know what to ask.  God’s will be done – not yours – is Jesus’ prayer.
