Key Scripture: Mark 11:24
Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Devotional
Faith-filled prayer is rooted in trust, not anxiety. Mark 11:24 challenges us to examine the posture of our hearts when we pray. Are we praying from belief or from fear disguised as caution?
Fear-based prayers focus on what might go wrong. Faith-based prayers trust God with outcomes, timing, and results. Faith does not deny reality—it places reality under God’s authority.
Praying in faith does not mean ignoring doubts; it means choosing trust in spite of them. Each prayer offered in faith strengthens spiritual confidence and weakens fear’s grip.
Today, allow faith to lead your prayers. Trust that God hears you and responds according to His perfect wisdom.
