Assured prayer

When we pray and ask God for something, sometimes we start thinking whether what we asked will really come true. We set sail in the sea of doubt and sometimes forget that we were pretty serious about what we prayed. The Word of God exhorts us,

Mark 11:24 (NIV)

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

The first and the foremost essential to prayer is, we need to believe that we will surely receive what we prayed for. In better words, we should believe that we have already received it. The next essential is to thank God that He has answered our prayer. Thank Him that He answered our prayer because of His love for us and because of who He is...

When we know as parents to give our children when they ask us for things, then God our creator and our heavenly Father, surely does know to give us the best. So let us dare to believe that we will receive what we pray for...Amen.
