“This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭5:14-15‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Prayer works!  Prayer makes a difference!  May we never take it for granted, but may we see it for what it is. Prayer is our communication with Almighty God AND it is His communication with us.

We should always be praying with an open heart and a listening ear as we position ourselves to hear from our Lord and pray HIS will and desire for every situation.  Praying HIS will and not our own is what will result in answered prayer. 

As a follow-up to prayer, we may be called to declare and decree God’s Word out loud over a situation or over a place. We are God’s voice on the earth!!  He uses us to PRAY His will, to SPEAK His will, and to DO His will!!  HALLELUJAH!!

Father God, what a blessing to be able to join You in holy conversation! What a joy to be in Your presence and hear Your voice! Oh Lord! Help us to speak Your will boldly and with the authority You have given us!! May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven! In Jesus’ Name! AMEN!! ~~Tina K. Roach
