Your prayers matter to God. However, when challenging or painful situations appear not to change, doubt creeps in. It’s then possible to lose hope.
Do not lose hope! Instead, activate your hope with unwavering belief. God is, without a doubt, answering your prayers. “Surely, there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off (Proverbs 23:18).”
Four Reasons Why You Must Believe Your Prayer Matters.
- God hears you. Billy Graham considered it a privilege to talk to God. He stated, “Prayer is for every moment of our lives, not just for times of suffering or joy.” God hears you whenever you pray. Since this is true, know that God also gives you what you ask from him (1 John 5:15).
- God can deliver you. Keep rampant fear from overcoming you by maintaining your relationship with God. Freedom happens as you give your anxiety to God. Pray specifically about your concerns and worries (Psalm 34:4, ESV).
- God will act on your behalf. Even if you never prayed before, you can begin communicating through prayer with God today. We, believers, have prayed many times for God’s intervention in our situations. He always comes through. Once, when Moses prayed, God even changed His mind! Read Exodus 32:11-14.
- God understands your unbelief. Once, a man came to Jesus with his sick son. The man was a believer. However, he confessed to Jesus his struggle with unbelief. Jesus understood this man’s problem with disbelief and healed the man’s son (Mark 9:14-24).
Your prayers matter to God because you matter to Him. God loves you. You are his child. He cares deeply about whatever you are facing today.
