Believe and Receive

Scripture: Mark 11:[24] Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Observation: I pray each day and enjoy my time with the Lord. Unfortunately my mind wanders and I ask myself do I believe I will receive what I just asked for. My prayers are weak because of my lack of belief. Though I receive so much from my Lord and He has been so faithful I still lack faith to believe completely.

Application: My prayers will only be answered if I have the type of faith that Jesus calls me to have and only at that time will I be able to please God. All of Jesus’ miracles were done by faith and I need that faith to fulfill the purpose God has called me to.

Prayer: Dear Lord increase my faith and help me overcome my unbelief at times. Draw me closer and open my eyes to the man you call me to be. Use me to touch the lives of others in your name.
