When Your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear Your name, Lord God Almighty. Jeremiah 15:16 NIV
Fill your mind with Scripture. Read the Bible! When we pray the words of Scripture, your faith is activated, and the devil retreats as he did from Christ in the wilderness. God responds because you are praying in harmony with His will.
As we take in His Word, we are filled with joy, strength, peace, stability, success, and we see answered prayers. Your confidence in prayer comes from knowing that you are asking according to God’s will. And He reveals His will to us through His Word.
Although we cannot see or know what will happen in the future, God does! Faith becomes operational when we trust God to do what He says He will do. Trusting God means believing His Word, even when there’s nothing visible to demonstrate that what He says is going to come true.
We fortify ourselves with prayer, renew our minds with His Word, and reach for God with songs of praise and hearts of joy.
Above all, we remember that our strength doesn’t lie in ourselves, but from the Lord of all. This is how we stand firm. With Jesus Christ.
