• A GIVEN ANSWER

  Welcome!  Blessings!

   

  When a Christian seeks to pray according to God’s will and says, “Lord, teach me to pray,” God lovingly responds, “Repeat after Me.”

   

  All that He has promised is our answer in prayer and to our prayers.  That’s why He can declare that before we call, the answer is there!  It’s a given!  One of the definitions for the word ‘given’ is immediately present in experience.  When we pray His precious promises, the answer is a given!  It’s immediately present!

   

  You may feel as if you haven’t got a prayer because you’re at a loss for words or there’s nothing left to say or you don’t know what to say.  Just begin to recite His promises, recall them to mind and rehearse them.  Get to know them by heart, and not only by memory. 

   

  Genesis 32:

  9 – And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:

  10 – I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which Thou hast shewed unto Thy servant…

  11 – Deliver me, I pray Thee…

  12 – Thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

   

  I will worship toward Thy holy temple, and praise Thy name for Thy lovingkindness and for Thy truth: for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.  Psalm 138:2

   

  Psalm 119:

  65 – Thou hast dealt well with Thy servant, O LORD, according unto Thy word.

  49 – Remember the word unto Thy servant, upon which Thou hast caused me to hope.

   

  Because it all looks hopeless, I should bow out but instead

  I’ll bow down and I’ll pray this prayer of all the things You’ve said.

   

  You have promised that You’re with me and will do me well;

  So I can face all opposition, knowing I’ll prevail.

   

  And though I know that I’m not worthy of one thing You do;

  You’ve already proven that that doesn’t count with You.

   

  I now see there’s never cause to give up in despair;

  For if I have Your promises, I’ll always have a prayer!

   

  And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.  Isaiah 65:24

   

  Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.  Jeremiah 33:3

   

  Be Purely Encouraged!
