A Word About the Weekend - PRAYING IN FAITH

This weekend is part two of our "GROW UP" series... We will explore what it means to pray in faith. 

Last weekend we learned that listening to God through His Word is a vital step to growing up. It's like food

If the Word of God is food for nourishment... Prayer is like breathing!

I want you to cultivate boldness in your praying. God may make His purpose known either through a promise of Scripture or through a prompting of the Spirit, but His Word is a vital link to powerful praying.

When God has spoken a clear promise that is for all people, you do not need to say, “If it be your will.” You can pray with great assurance. The Scripture is full of such promises. The Bible is like a field of buried treasure, and prayer digs up the promises of God.

When you come to ask for the strength, power, and the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life, you do not need to say, “Father, give me your Holy Spirit, if it be your will.” He has already told you what His will is.

The promises of God open the door to a faith that prays with great assurance and boldness: “Let us…come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).
