My friend, if you believe, you will receive what you ask in prayer. God wants you to receive answers from Him, and the only way is to believe. As it is written in the Gospel of Matthew 21:22, “If you believe, you will receive what you ask in prayer.” Believe that you will receive the answer. Today, God wants you to have every blessing; believe in the answers. It’s coming to you from Heaven. Firstly, believe that God answers prayers. In the Gospel of Mark 11:24, Jesus said, “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.” Even when you pray to the Lord Jesus, keep on saying, “Lord, I know I have prayed now. I have already received it.” Even though you may not see it, feel it, or have it in your hand, yet say, “I have received it because I have asked in prayer to You, Lord.” When you do that and thank Him, it will be yours. Secondly, believe that God loves you unconditionally. Trust in His unfailing love, as we read in Psalms 13:5, and remember I John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and purify us from all unrighteousness”. When you believe that God loves you so much, then you will receive.

Thirdly, believe in His plan for you and ask Him. In the Book of Jeremiah 29:11 God says, “I know the plans I have for you.” You may say, “I don’t know what to do, which subject to choose, which degree to do, which field to work in, whom to marry, or whether to buy or rent.” But God has made the plan for you to prosper. Every plan for your life is detailed by God. Never pray, “Give me this, give me that.” Just say, “Thy will be done. Show me Your plan, Lord.” You have been in God’s heart even before He made the earth. As declared in the Epistle to the Hebrews 4:3, “His works were finished from the foundation of the world”. Believe in His plan and pray. God will fulfill it for you.

Finally, believe in His prophets and what God has spoken through them. When Jehoshaphat faced enemies, he trusted the word in Second Book of Chronicles 20:20: “Have faith in the Lord your God and in His prophets, and you will be successful.” He went with an army of singers, declaring, “God is good, His mercy endures forever.” God prevailed; the enemies fought among themselves, and not a drop of blood was shed. He returned with plunder and riches. So believe, and you will receive. Believe that God will give you what you ask. Believe in His love. Believe in His plan. Believe in His prophets. As you pray, believing each one of these, you will have what you ask.

PRAYER: 
Dear Lord, I believe that when I pray, I receive answers from You. Even if I do not see it right away, I trust that You have heard my prayer and will bring it to pass at the right time. Thank You for Your unfailing love for me. Forgive me, Lord, and purify me from all unrighteousness. Show me Your perfect plan for my life. Let Your will be done in me. Help me to trust every word You have spoken and to expect great things from Your loving hands. In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray, Amen.
