Ask Him to bring a fresh understanding of His sovereignty to your heart. When you allow Him to reveal His greatness and love to you, you are filled with a deeper understanding of His mercy and peace. Prayer and meditation on God's Word remind you of your powerful and loving heavenly Father who is eternally interested in your life. Prayer and faith work together. We must believe that God is who He says He is and that He loves us, has redeemed us, and hears every prayer we say or even whisper.
Faith strengthens prayer.
When we pray our faith thrives, becoming stronger and more certain. However, if we seek God only when life is in chaos, our faith will be weak, our persistence will be slack, and our endurance will waver. If we learn to seek God when there is no crisis, we won't be thrown off balance when problems do occur. How we react to situations and events shows the source of our strength. But it is when a crisis arises that we instantly reveal upon whom we rely.
