You come to church to get fed the Word of God. It is there where you come into the presence of Christ. You also know that when you pray alone He is with you. As so often has been said, that if you find distance from God, guess who moved? It was not the Lord.
You pour your heart out to Christ and ask Him to give you a specific answer to your prayer. That prayer is said over and over again. It is something you need Christ to answer, but you hear no answer.
To have Christ answer your prayer(s), one link that may be missing from that prayer chain, may be faith. Faith that God can answer and will answer is vital. What exactly is faith? “Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man’s power ends” (George Muller). Muller knows what he is talking about, because Christ used Mueller to be the recipient of many prayers. The prayers Christ answered were impossible in man’s eyes.
The apostles witness Jesus cursing a fig tree and watching it wither right before their eyes. The apostles were elated at the fig tree withering. Christ reminds them that they need to have a faith that does not doubt. That kind of faith performs miracles. Then Christ tells them this: “And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive” (Matthew 21:22, NKJV). From other Scriptures Christ teaches you that anything you ask in prayer, you will receive when it is within the will of God.
You want desperately to get answers to your prayer. Follow Christ’s teaching to the apostles with the fig tree. “Believing you will receive” it.
