Stepping Stones: Pray with Faith

Transformational Tip
Pray aloud and with faith - for praying without faith is only words. How many times do we make statements, tell people things that we don't even believe. How about doing something we don't really want to do....just going through the motions? Why do we do it? Amazing how much we deceive ourselves. Praying should be a real conversation, with God knows everything about us, and still loves and wants to be with us. Hiding from or deceiving God is impossible, in fact it's counterproductive. Humble yourself, show Him who you are

Prayer
Dear God in Heaven, I come to You believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and the sins of man. I open my heart and invite Jesus to come in to be my personal Lord and Savior. Forgive me for all my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Teach me Your Word, and fill me with the power of Your Holy Spirit. Give me knowledge and wisdom, and teach me how to live a victorious life. I thank You Lord because I am born again and saved through the blood shed by Jesus on the cross at Calvary. I am on my way to heaven, in the name of Jesus - AMEN

The Truth
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
John 14:6
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Mark 11:24
