Praying, and the War Room

Prayer, and an unwavering faith; what a great message for today, and applying our faith to our prayers brings amazing power to bear. I must admit that there have been times when I have prayed and even before the words have left my mouth... I have encountered doubt. Satan might whisper to me that the situation is too far gone, the task is too great, this request is too trivial to concern God, or attack me personally by asking a question like… why would God do this for someone as undeserving as you? These are just some of the reasons for doubt that Satan uses to rob us of answered prayer, but if we will remain faithful, and say “get thee behind me Satan”, then we will have won the battle, and perhaps the war.

Praying expectantly in the fullness of our needs and desires

When we are in need of something miraculous to occur, or we want something that is so far above us that we believe it is just too great, or much, to ask for, do we temper our prayers, and ask God for what we believe is actually doable? Do we ask God for a lesser thing because we think it is possible for Him, and that He might be capable of providing it? Perhaps we believe we are unworthy, or that our true desire is presumptuous in nature, and so we weigh our prayer requests against who we think He is, and how much we believe He loves us, but this is only an indication of our lesser faith, and not how God wants us to come to Him, or ask of Him.
