Pray with EXPECTANCY

Text: Mark 11:24(KJV)

Whatever you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.

Friends, one of the biggest error is praying without expectations. Prayer is not complete with expectation. Hence, expectation is the bridge between your prayer and God’s answer. The scripture above teaches us that prayer must be mixed with faith if it will produce results by looking forward with anticipations and you will have it. We must learn to be fully convinced as we pray daily. So, to pray with expectation means to come before God in hope, believing that He hears you, He loves you, and He will respond according to His will. So, relax in His hands. Proverb 23:18 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. Let’s remember that God is able, and God will do what He has promised to do. Therefore, expectation is not a life of arrogance rather a life of confidence in God’s character. However, when we pray, God doesn’t just listen, He responds to us. He is a Father who delights in giving good gifts to His children. James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed

Amazingly, when we are expectant in prayer, it aligns our hearts with God’s promises which activates our faith in absolute confidence in God as it cancels doubt. Psalm 5:3 In the morning I lay my requests before You and wait expectantly. This shows that God is willingly, He is able, and He faithful. It opens our spiritual eyes to see God’s hand at work and His capacity to do it that lives us with the posture of hope and stability during waiting seasons. I pray we shall be transformed from prayer as a routine to relational confidence in God in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT: 

Father, teach me to stay in peace at my waiting season with high expectations that God is able to do exceedingly in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, to stay boldly and not in fear with God’s will.
