… (Your name), listen to what you are saying. Let yourself believe, love, and be thankful for the truth!

…I love that I can “…draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb. 4:16). (pause to hear, believe, and love it as the truth!)

…Lord, I love that I can ask You questions and that You answer: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” (Matt. 7:7).

“…the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God” (Rom. 8:26-27). And, “This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him” (1 John 5:14). (pause to hear, believe, and love it as the truth!)

Jesus said of us and the Father that “…you…know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!” (Matt. 7:11). And knowing this Lord, I love that it also says, “…all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you’” (Mark 11:24). (pause to hear, believe, and love it as the truth!)

“In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full” (John 16:23-24). (pause to hear, believe, and love it as the truth!)

“…all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive” (Matt. 21:22). “…‘Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you’” (Mark 11:22-24).

“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He will do it. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and your judgment as the noonday. Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him…” (Psa. 37:4-7) .

“pray without ceasing” (1Thess. 5:17). “…Be strong and courageous, and act…” (1 Chron. 28:20).

“…My house shall be a house of prayer…” (Luke 19:46). And, “…do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?” (1 Cor. 6:19).

“To You I lift up my eyes, O You who are enthroned in the heavens! Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until He is gracious to us.” (Psa. 123:1-2). (pause to hear, believe, and love it as the truth!)

“…far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you…” (1Sam. 12:23). And thank You, Lord that it is a powerful way to pray when I stand before You and pray for people while trusting that I am presenting them before You also.
