What is a prayer of faith?
It has nothing to do with shouting out meaningless words.
Nor does it have to do with beautiful words, vain repetitions, eloquence or posture.
Because it is a sublime act, the prayer of faith requires a pure spirit and humbleness.
It requires a sincere expression of what is hidden deep down in your soul.
Total and complete transparency.
It requires faith, an absolute conviction.
A certainty that you were heard; a certainty of what you want.
"...for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." Hebrews 11.6
When you lead a righteous life, you can easily demand that the Just Judge fulfills His promises.
Especially, since your faith gets a boost when you present Him with fair evidence.
The Lord God knows this.
Even if all of hell comes together to interrupt your answer, it would be in vain.
Say the word, and my servant will be healed - said to the Roman officer to Jesus.
One single word, sent from the Throne of God, is enough.
Imagine more than eight thousand promises!
However, we must trust. We must believe. We must obey.
The faithful have duties and responsibilities to the Word of God.
But they also have the right and privilege of His promises.
Therefore, they present their case through a sincere prayer.
From the justified by faith to the Just Judge: a prayer.
From the Just Judge to the obedient believer: the answer.
