Have you ever wondered if your prayers are working? Have you ever felt like you were just talking to yourself when you were praying…or maybe you felt like you just aren’t doing it right…like maybe God’s not listening because there’s something you’re missing?
If that’s you, know that I have been there, too! When I first gave my life to Jesus at the age of 17, I felt this exact same way. When I became a Christian, nobody explained to me how to pray or how to even read the Bible. I had to figure it out on my own and it wasn’t an easy journey.
Funny story, because I had heard all of these ultra-spiritual people praying, I actually thought that in order to talk to God through prayer, I had to start out by saying, “Heavenly Father” or “God” in a way that made me sound so sophisticated. Haha…I’m so glad I don’t have to act like that when I’m talking to God, I can just be myself.
But even in the midst of not knowing how to pray or even how to read the Bible, I didn’t give up. One thing I have learned about God over the years is that when we reach out to God, it doesn’t matter how far away we were, He will always us right where we are, and I desperately needed Him to do that!
Over the years I learned that the Bible actually has a lot to say about prayer and that God did actually want to answer my prayers. He wants to answer your prayers, too! But did you know that God can’t answer just any prayers. There’s only one type of prayer God can answer, and this is the number one reason I truly believe that we may not see God answering our prayers.
The only kind of prayers that God can answer are prayers of faith based on the Word of God.
