“Absolutely everything, ranging from small to large, as you make it a part of your believing prayer, gets included as you lay hold of God.” (Matthew 21:22 NLT)
Why are some prayers answered and not others? Does the efficacy of prayer depend on the faith of the one who is praying? If so, most of us are unqualified. Our confidence in God wavers from moment to moment.
Jesus knew the Heavenly Father intimately and, thus, had a strong bond with Him. Jesus always prayed within the will of the Father. He wanted what the Father wanted. Nothing less. Nothing more. Jesus had absolute faith and full confidence in the Father. Thus, Jesus was able to lay hold of God’s power through prayer.
Lord, through prayer we have access to Your power. Help us overcome our doubts. May our desires be aligned with Your plans. Pour out your grace on all of us.
