Pray with confidence in God. Such a prayer to God always has faith that God will hear and answer. Prayer is not just saying religious words or quoting from memory. Believers talk to God our Father with confidence.
The prayer of faith is confident that God hears our prayers. Unbelief says, "No one can have confidence in prayer. It's nothing but religious talk." Doubt says, "Some people may have confidence in prayer, but I'm not sure that I ever will." Faith says, "I pray with confidence, because my prayers are based upon the promises of God in the Bible. God always honors His word."
The prayer of faith is always confident. Please understand that it is not self-confidence, far from it. Rather, it is confidence in the word of God. Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us (1 John 5:14). God's word is God's will. Make the Bible your prayer book. Stand by faith upon the promises of God in prayer. Asking according to God's will is praying His word.
All the promises of God are for you as a believer in Jesus Christ. For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us (2 Corinthians 1:20). Faith prays with confidence in all the promises of God. That is praying with confidence in Jesus name, to the glory of God.
