Mathew 21:18 Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.
20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.
21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
Have faith that he is good and he loves you.
Have faith that he will hear and answer prayer.
God gives you three answers "Yes" "No" and "Later".(might seem elementary but we should always be reminded of his diligence)
Stop trying to control God's answers.
Pray succinctly.
Pray without ceasing.(1 Thessalonians 1:5)
Praying in God's will.
Sometimes we ask God to bless things that are not in His will.
If you know it's in God's will, keep praying.
When you stop praying for someone it could mean that you've lost hope for them.
If you love them, keep praying.
Luke 18-1 says "We ought to always pray and not lose heart."
Jesus gave us a model prayer:
Begins in #worship "Our Father who art in heaven, *Hallowed be you name."
#submission-"YOUR kingdom come, YOUR will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
#needs-"Give us this day our daily bread."
#repentance-"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."
#protection-"And do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one."
Ends in #worship-"For YOURS is the kingdom and the power, and the glory *forever, Amen."
