Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God. ²³ I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. ²⁴ I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours. ²⁵ But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too. 

(Mark 11:22-25 NLT)

Praying is  not only a personal and intimate connection to our Father in Heaven,  but it’s also another way in which to show our devotion and love for Him and to Him.

When we profess our inner most thoughts and desires–of which He already knows before we even know it–(Matthew 6:8) –we are connecting our heart to His heart and climbing up higher into the realm of our faith.

Even when we pray and the prayer seems to go “unanswered” it doesn’t mean that our Father doesn’t hear us.  It means that He is waiting for the “right time” and the “right solution” to our requests.”

After all, it is always “His will be done” not “ours” — and when He grants our petitions and inner most heart felt desires, it is always for the betterment of His children, and His way is the “best way” and the “best outcome” contrary to what we may think or feel.  His way is the BEST…

So, as you go along in life and do your utmost best to stay in His Word and adhere to His Holy ways and commandments, remember this…God always hears us.  He is always listening.  And He is always close by holding us up with His right hand of righteousness. (Isaiah 41:10 ) 

Leading, guiding and showing us the way…forever here and now…and forever in the hereafter.

What an amazing God we serve huh?

“Father God, thank You for Your kindness, Your compassion, Your unconditional love, and Your hands of grace that touch our face each and everyday of our life, we are Yours forever more, in Jesus name, Amen.”

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.  (Isaiah 41:10 KJV)
