Believing Prayer

by Daniel N Brown

Have you noticed that most of us have been raised to not believe in positive outcomes? At the same time, we've been taught to believe in negative outcomes. Where's the logic in that? How much more effort does it take to believe in garbage than in positive things?

Believing in the positive is vital to our success. If we could only believe that everything will work out and trust that what we want will happen, we'd have great results. Life would change in ways we'd never thought possible. But for some reason most people just can't believe that things will workout for them. They look at past results and judge their future based on that past. Well, I'm here to tell you that God is greater than your past!

We've all heard at some point in our lives that if you truly believe in something, having faith that it will happen, then it really will happen. A lot of people don't completely accept that, but the Bible is clear; what you believe is what you get. Jesus said, "Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them and you shall have them." (Mark 11:24)

Now, He didn't say you would see the manifestation of your prayers immediately. Give God time to work things out. Have faith and keep believing, "For a man who wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. Let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord." (James 1:6-7)
