Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 

So many times we pray to God for the needs of others and the needs of ourselves because that is what we are suppose to do.  But the verse above tells us we need to BELIEVE that God will answer our prayers.
 It is also important to remember that God will answer our prayers in His time and in His way. This is a hard concept to grasp considering we  think we know what is best for us. But God always has something better in store for us. He knows exactly what we need at exactly the right time. 
As I go forth I intend to truly believe that God can and will answer each  one of my prayers no matter how big or small they may be. And will trust that He knows what is best for me. 


Prayer: Thank you God for being a God who listens to and answers each and everyone of our prayers. Help me to remember that as I prayer for the needs of others as well as myself that you are in control of every fiber of our being and know what we need better than we do. I trust in you that you will handle every concern, issue, trial and tribulation. Amen!
