God Is Waiting On You

God Is Waiting on You. Children running towards father.

Every time you pray, go to church or talk to God, believe God is waiting on you—that’s faith. God is omniscient (all-knowing), omnipotent (all-powerful) and omnipresent (in all places at all times).

Prayer that Works.

Prepare your heart before prayer. Pray from a position of confidence. Often, we may not feel like we’re worthy to have our prayers answered because we know we’re not perfect. We did lose our temper. We still let the odd curse word out. Our motives aren’t always pure. Why would…

Why God Will Answer Your Prayers.

Right-standing with God is what gives you authority. But prayer is what gives you the breakthrough. Prayer is how you legally submit your requests/petitions to God. God’s kingdom has laws. It is an ethical and moral society. We have rights as sons and daughters of God. We are his representatives…
