Confidence in Prayer

Hello friends! Today we will be discussing Confidence in Prayer🕺💃
I will like to start by telling a story. Long time ago, there was a boy named Jim, who asked his father to buy him a bicycle.😉 They had the following conversations:
Jim: Daddy, I want a bicycle to drive around the compound and the neighborhood…hmm…don’t worry Daddy.😊
Daddy: Okay, Jim, my boy. I will buy you a bicycle.🤗
Jim: Thank you Daddy! I love you😁
…..two years later.😎
Jim: Daddy, you promised to buy me a bicycle two years ago and you are yet to buy it for me.🤨
Daddy: Really, my boy. You didn’t remind me dear. I wasn’t sure you still wanted it.😏
Jim: Daddy I still want, it has always been on my mind.🙃
Daddy: Truth is, I know you want a bicycle my boy but I didn’t know you wanted it this soon☺️
Jim: Why Daddy?😮
Daddy: Well.., because you never thought I could afford to buy it for you😊
Jim: Really…never said that Dad😮
Daddy: The day you asked for the bicycle…you said “Daddy don’t worry”.😉
Jim: I didn’t know you heard me Daddy…didn’t think you could buy it for me🙃
Jim: I am sorry I didn’t trust you daddy, even when you said you will buy it for me😗
Daddy: Do you now want the bicycle?😐
Jim: Yes Daddy. I really want one.😗
Daddy: …Goes to his room and brings the box..then gives it to Jim.💥
Jim: What is this Daddy?😊
Daddy: The bicycle you asked for my boy.👍
Jim: screams and hugs his daddy. Thanks so much sweet Daddy! God bless you richly Papa.😮😮🕺🕺💃💃

I want to state some lessons from this story; Prayer is talking to God; it means communicating with God; talking and listening to God. It’s a two-way thing just like communication in the real sense.💪👍

As we can see, Jim spoke to his Father…we should learn to talk to God about everything and anything…pray without ceasing Friends!🤗🤗1Thessalonians 5:17. 🙏🙏

Don’t just be anxious, pray! Make your requests known to God. Phil 4:6. 🙏🙏😊😊😊Are you in need of anything? Have you spoken to God about it or do you think Jesus cannot solve your problem. 😊😊

Remember in the story, Jim felt his daddy could not buy him a bicycle. As a matter of fact, he didn’t believe his father could afford the bicycle. That was why he didn’t receive the gift of the bicycle that he asked for.😮

Believers need to trust God some more. Whenever you pray, believe that ye receive them and you shall have them. Mark 11:24.

Believe that God can do more than you ask or think according to his power that worketh in you. Eph 3:20. As long as we ask according to Gods will for our lives, God will grant our requests. 1 John 5:14.🕺🕺💃💃

Finally, Jim’s daddy had already bought the bicycle, meanwhile Jim did not ask for the bicycle until two years later. Assuming Jim didn’t keep asking, his father might have ignored it or probably forgotten about it.😮😮☺️☺️

Our Father and our God does not even forget things like our earthly father. He even knows our needs before we ask, yet he says “Ask and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. John 16:24. So let’s keep asking friends till our joy is full.🤗🤗🤗💃💃🕺🕺

However, it is understood we are used to praying in our mother language, but it’s paramount for a believer to desire to pray in tongues. 1Cor 14:1-2 Jude 1:20. Every believer should desire to pray in the Holy Spirit.🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏

Furthermore, as believers we should pray that we are filled with the knowledge of God’s will for our lives. Colossians 1:9.😊😊🙏🙏🤲🤲

Please note that Jesus said that anyone that comes unto him, he will in no wise cast out. God wants everyone to be saved.John 6: 37, Isaiah 59: 1-2. You need to receive the life of Christ, only then can you have confidence that God hears you when you pray, because it’s through Him we pray to the Father. John 14:13-14🤗😊🙏🙏🤲🤲

I hope you have learnt few things today. Please put a comment to share your thoughts with us.🤗🤗👍👍

Stay tuned, stay connected for more inspiring posts🤗🤗🤗.Jesus loves you very much friends❤
