Have Faith

Pray with Godly fear

Hebrews `11:6

For all who would  approach God, there is one basic unshakable requirement, the 2nd condition to praying and having your prayers answered is, first, you must believe he exists.

“Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Faith pleases God.

It takes faith to approach God in prayer request, so the bible teaches us that we don’t have to worry how he will receive us when we approach him in prayer.

It takes faith to approach him and faith pleases him.

There’s more.

Not only do we need faith to please him, but we must believe that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

This was something I really had to wrestle with.

I had to ask myself if I believe that God rewards those who earnestly seek him, or do I just hope he does.

I realized that the fact that God rewards those who earnestly seek him is something we really have to take on faith. 

Looking at the world, we see evil seeming to flourish, we see evil people living long lives and growing richer by the day.

We see God’s people on the other hand, suffering.

There are more examples that attest to this than I could tell you.

So when you pray, have faith and believe that God earnestly rewards those who seek him.

How do we know that God earnestly rewards those who seek him?

It’s simple.

We know because the Bible tells us so.
