1 John 5:14-15

This is the confidence that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of Him. (",)

Believe and do not doubt

Came across this section in Nerida Walker's -God's plan for pregnancy.

In order to receive the answer to our prayer we have to believe our prayer is being answered without any doubt in our heart and without any room for uncertainty or compromise.

There can often be a period of time from the Amen to the answer to prayer. When something does not happen straight away, we can fall into reasoning. Reasoning is a mental reaction, and will rob us of God's provision every time. This is why many don't receive answers to their prayer because they become discouraged. But faith goes beyond what we see or hope. Hebrews says that faith is the 'substance' of things hoped for and the 'evidence' of things not seen. So, we must not be moved by what we see or feel; but rather be determined in what we believe.
