Seed Thought for this Weekend Prayer is the Language of Faith In Mark 11:24 Jesus said, “What things you desire, when you pray, believe that you shall receive them, and you shall have them.” In this verse, desire means sincere. And believe means faith. So we see the connection between sincere prayer and faith. Sincere faith is in the heart. The language of the faith is prayer. It takes sincerity to pray well. And without faith no one will pray sincerely. When we pray sincerely we should have confidence that we will be heard. When infants cry when hungry or tired it is natural for a parents to try to figure out what they need. They give them something to eat or put them to bed. And hope that’s why they were crying. When children mature they are more specific and clear with their requests. There is nothing feigned when infants cry when they need sleep or food. Small children have a certain innocent sincerity when they asked for something they want or need. As God’s children, we pray sincerely bringing our specific needs to God. Sincere prayer is the language of faith that God has promised to hear. Sincere prayer is the language that says “I believe.” Listen to Our Devotional Podcast NEW Book!
