Hello All, Grace and Peace be to you from our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
Hebrews 11:6 says, But without faith it is impossible to please HIM, for he who comes to GOD must believe that HE is, and that HE is a rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM.
First you have to believe GOD is the only true living GOD, and trust HE will do what HE says HE will do.
It is impossible to please GOD without faith, so when we pray we must believe HE can and will do it. What is faith? Hebrews 11:1 says, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
One must believe it is a reality even before it happens. Mark 11:24 says, (JESUS speaking)"Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

GOD just wants us to trust and believe HIM. To have faith that HE is our GOD, our FATHER and all HE wants is for us to have a relationship with HIM. To trust HIM as a little child trusts the word of mom and dad.
I know from my own life, it was not until I believed GOD would answer my prayer that HE moved the mountain for me.
Matthew 13:58 says, And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
Beloved of GOD, trust and believe GOD in all that you pray. It may not be answered right when you want it, but the WORD of GOD is TRUTH, so believe you have received it and you will have them. If you do not believe, it will not be done for you because of disbelief.
I have been praying for 14 years to have a baby on my own, and it has not happened yet...YET! I believe it will happen, I know it will... with every fiber of my being I believe it! HE would not place the burden on my heart if HE did not intend on filling that desire, but I should have desire to please HIM first.
How do I please HIM? I read the BIBLE and do what HE says to do. If the BIBLE says do it, then DO IT, and if the BIBLE says do not do it, DO NOT DO IT! IF GOD who has never failed at anything EVER, why don't we trust HIM?
Psalm 37:3-5 says, 3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on HIS faithfulness.
4 Delight yourself also in the LORD, and HE shall give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in HIM, and HE shall bring it to pass.
Now, I do believe that it is not just talking about any and every worldly desire, there is much evil in the world. We should align our desires to GOD's desires. But also notice in verse 4, it first says, to delight yourself also in the LORD. Delight means: a high degree of gratification: joy; extreme satisfaction; something that gives great pleasure.
Do you see that? Extreme satisfaction to worship HIM, gratification in walking in obedience, for this pleases HIM, and having great joy just because HE is GOD!
When we desire HIM above all, HE loves to give us the desires of our hearts.
Have you just truly celebrated GOD? Have you truly worshiped HIM, sought after HIM as if you were completely in love with HIM?
Have you ever thought of yourself as being totally crazy in love with GOD? Not the worlds version of love, but a true, pure desire to run after the one and only TRUE LIVING GOD. Running into HIS arms through HIS SON JESUS who died to make that happen. WOW, what a site!
To have that kind of love, belief, trust, and faith in GOD...that is what moves GOD to answered prayers.
GOD is ready to move those mountains, we (Christians) just need to truly believe HE will do it.
Prayer without expectancy is unbelief in disguise. Fear and doubt are liars that steal answered prayers.
GOD bless us all as we learn to trust HIM more.
