Bold Prayers

Bold Prayers

Bold prayers honor God, and God honors bold prayers. . . . The greatest moments in life are the miraculous moments when human impotence and divine omnipotence intersect—and they intersect when we draw a circle around the impossible situations in our lives and invite God to intervene.

Mark Batterson

What is the most impossible situation you are facing in your life right now? Bring that need to Me with confidence that I will hear your request. You are My child, and I want you to know that you can look to Me for help. “I wait confidently for God to save me, and my God will certainly hear me” (Micah 7:7). Enjoy the relationship we have. You don’t have to wait for permission to enter My presence. You don’t have to be concerned that I will dismiss your prayers as unnecessary or unimportant. I hear everything you say to Me. Be assured that when you pray bold prayers within My will, you can expect answers.

On this very day, come to Me with your difficult situation, which seems to hold no hope for a positive resolution. Ask for My limitless power to intersect with your great need—and confidently ask for help. I hear the prayers of the righteous (Proverbs 15:29). I have noticed your passion to live an upright, blameless, and honorable life by following the instructions in My Word. I am not offended when you come to Me with unflinching prayers. Don’t give up on praying before your miracle happens.

And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.

1 John 5:14-15
