When you pray!

 “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” Mark 11:24 KJV

When you pray, do not continue in anxiety; begin to believe. Prayer is not only the act of presenting your desire before God, it is also the place where faith must take over from worry. Many people pray, yet still carry the burden as though nothing has happened. But Jesus teaches us that when we pray, we must believe that we receive, and we shall have what we ask. When a trusted person promises to do something for you, your heart becomes settled because you believe their word. You may even begin to rejoice before seeing the answer physically. How much more should we trust God, who cannot lie? His promise is sure: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you” (Matthew 7:7). Therefore, when you have prayed, stop speaking fear. Stop rehearsing the problem. Start declaring, “I believe, I receive.”

Hannah prayed in deep distress, but after Eli spoke a word of assurance over her, she went her way, ate, and her face was no longer sad (1 Samuel 1:17–18). Her situation had not yet changed physically, but her faith had received the answer. Beloved, when you pray, leave the place of prayer with confidence. Present your request to God with thanksgiving, and refuse anxiety (Philippians 4:6). If God has heard you, then peace must replace worry.

Prophetic Word: I declare that every prayer you have offered in faith receives divine attention. Anxiety shall not steal your peace. Delay shall not weaken your confidence. As you believe, you shall receive. The God who answers prayer shall manifest His goodness in your life. In Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Lord, I believe Your word. When I pray, help me to trust You completely. I refuse worry, fear, and anxiety. I believe that You hear me, and I receive by faith what I have asked according to Your will. Thank You because my prayers are answered. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
