Prayers : Part 14

The prayer of faith or petition prayer

“Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”

Mark 11:24

The prayer of faith or petition prayer is the cure for a lack of anything in our lives. When Jesus was alive, the disciples went directly to Him to get the answers they needed or desired. As Christians, we pray to God in Jesus’ name to get answers that we need or desire (John 16: 23-24).

Sometimes, however, we pray and our prayers go unanswered. Unanswered prayer may be a sign that we aren’t putting faith into our prayers. The prayer of faith or petition prayer will not work without faith. Faith is like a “spiritual currency.” God only can move when we give Him the “spiritual currency” of our faith. He is waiting for our faith so that He can provide the answers to our prayers. Oftentimes, the only reason we don’t have what we have asked God for is a lack of faith. That’s why it is essential that we have faith in hand to receive whatever we are asking for when we pray.

We must have faith to accompany the requests that we make of God. People often think they don’t have enough faith, but we all have a measure of faith. You have to use the measure of faith that you have and build your faith from there. You can start building your faith by using the faith that you have on lesser things or things that aren’t as important, such as faith for a parking space, for example.

When you strengthen your faith for the little things, you can build upon that and use your faith for more substantial things. Before you know it, you will have the faith to move mountains!
