Praying But Not Believing (19/6/06)

This morning devotion seemed to be connected to my testimony about last night. The Bible verse was taken from Acts 12:14-15;
When she recognized Peter’s voice, because of her gladness she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter stood before the gate. But they said to her, “You are beside yourself!” Yet she kept insisting that it was so. So they said, “It is his angel.”

Is it possible to be a “person of prayer” and yert have no faith?
Is it possible to gool yourself into believing that because you ask God for help, you have faith in His ability to meer you needs? Is your faith so weak that you are surprised when God answes your prayer? As a child of God, you ought to expect God to answer your prayers……..

Ask God to increase your FAITH, and then begin living a life that reflects absolute trust in Him. Out of His grace, God may choose to respond to your requests despite your lack of faith, but you will miss the joy of praying in faith.

I believe that the main message that He wanted to share with me is that WE NEED TO PRAY WITH AND IN FAITH.

Are you praying in faith today?

And without faith, it's impossible to please God

Heb 11:6

We (need to) live by faith, not by sight

(2 Cor. 5:7)
