As you spend time talking with the Father and reading His Word, your prayers will begin to reflect the heart, mind and Word of the Lord. God will meet you right where you are, using the amount of knowledge you have. Ask God to give you a verse that applies to the situation for which you are praying, and pray it. Your prayer will then become God’s own Word alive in your mouth. Praying God’s Word brings results and answers, because God Himself said that His Word will not return to Him void, without accomplishing what He desires and without succeeding in the matter for which He sent it. Pray the Word based on faith, believing that you are in agreement with God’s will for the circumstance. Prayer that is based on faith bears fruit for the Kingdom and pleases God. When you pray and communicate with God in faith, He will speak to you and give you direction, wisdom, knowledge, and strength.
