He will send the answer through someone else

The answer depends on the speaker’s own authority

Bring your need to God with confidence that he can act

Wait until everything is already solved before praying

Ask only after you have proved yourself worthy

Speak about God’s power but never make a real request

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and that I cannot save myself. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you to forgive me, lead me, and bring me to the Father. Be my Lord and Savior, and give me new life. Amen.

Come to Jesus in Faith

Father, revive your Church to pray with the confidence of Martha — still trusting you even now. Rescue us from hopelessness and shallow prayer. Teach us to bring our needs to you honestly and to wait with faith for your wise and generous answer, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Our Expectant Prayer

Father, when I face a need I cannot fix, help me bring it to you instead of turning away in fear. Give me the courage to ask, the humility to wait, and the peace to trust your answer, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Teach Me to Ask Boldly

Name one real need. Tell God you still trust him even now. Then surrender the timing and ask for his generous answer in the way that is best.

Pray With Steady Hope

Bring these to God in thanks: times he heard you before you felt ready; moments when he answered more generously than you expected; the gift of a Father who listens when you pray.

Thank God for His Generous Hearing

Pray for: someone who has been waiting a long time; a family facing a need they cannot solve; the grace to keep bringing hard requests to God without losing heart.

Pray for Those Who Are Waiting
