Reply To: Prayer Basics Discussion Board 1

[Amotsuka Caleb]

Indeed, our praise to God before we see the answers to our prayers is a demonstration that we believe what He has said to us. In the natural when someone makes a promise to us, if the person is someone we know is able to fulfill that promise and we trust the persons character to keep their word, we begin to rejoice and make plans based on the promise. If you are given an employment letter, even before you resume work, you immediately start planning on how to spend the first salary. This is because you trust the contract that was given to you. We should have the same behavior when it comes to God. When we pray according to His will, we must have the utmost confidence that He has heard and answered us and begin to rejoice and make plans like it is already in our hands. If a company will not fail in their contract, God will never fail in His covenant which is much stronger.
