To good to be true???

In a world of skepticism it is hard to believe anything anyone says. There always seems to be a catch. If it says free we look for the small print. If it claims you have won you don't believe it. In a worldly sense this is understandable. Biblically, well that is a different story.

"24 Listen to me! You can pray for anything, and if you believe, you will have it. 25 But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too"
Mark 11:24-25

We all seem to think often that our prayers are like steam vapors. Offered up to a place in which it disappears. Which in turn leads to a lack of faith. Notice the things needed to require answered prayers.
  1. Belief
  2. Forgiveness
  3. Repentance
God just asks us to have faith in him. It is simple. Yet we make it so complex that we begin doubting that God is big enough for anything. So as you go out into that wonderful prayer life remember God wants you to:
  • Believe he can do it.
  • Forgive those who have wronged you
  • Repent from all your wrong doings.
Have a great day! Pray for someone.
