The bravest prayer
The bravest prayer
Mark 11:24 (NIV)
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
This verse has been alive in my life over and over again. I can honestly say, I’ve never cried out to God in faith without Him answering. Sometimes the answers come immediately. Other times, they’ve taken years, four years, even, but not once has God failed me.
The key is faith. Prayer without faith is just words. But when you pray, believing that God hears you and will move according to His will and timing, you unlock the power of heaven in your life.
One of my biggest prayers for years was simple, yet deep: “Lord, let me baptize my daughter one day and bring her to know You.” Month after month, year after year, I held on to that prayer.
This past month, I experienced the faithfulness of God in a way I’ll never forget. I had planned to baptize my mother in the same river where I was baptized. My daughter flew in to witness it, but the day before, she sent me a text that brought tears to my eyes: “Dad, can you baptize me too?” 🥹
That moment was living proof of Mark 11:24. A prayer I had carried for so long was answered in God’s perfect time. Not a day early, not a day late. His way, His will, His glory.
This is why one day, I will write a book about this verse and the power behind it, because my life is full of testimonies of how prayer + faith = God’s promises coming to life.
🙏 Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for all the answered prayers, and even for the ones I didn’t pray but You still knew were in my heart. Lord, continue to grow my faith in You, and give me the patience to trust that my heart’s desires will always be answered in Your way and Your time. Thank You for never failing me, and for letting my life be a testimony to Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
What is one prayer you’ve been holding onto for years?
Have a blessed day today everyone.
