00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:14.400
<v SPEAKER_00>The gospel writer Mark records the words of Jesus regarding prayer as this Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it.

00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:19.199
<v SPEAKER_00>Faith in prayer doesn't mean pretending everything is already perfect.

00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:22.559
<v SPEAKER_00>It means trusting that God is already working.

00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:27.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Sometimes doubt can creep in when we don't see immediate answers.

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.079
<v SPEAKER_00>It becomes easy to question whether our prayers matter.

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:38.640
<v SPEAKER_00>But God invites us to pray with confidence, believing that He hears and responds according to His will.

00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:43.200
<v SPEAKER_00>Faith grows not by seeing first, but by trusting first.

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.600
<v SPEAKER_00>Tell God honestly where your faith feels weak or uncertain.

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:58.479
<v SPEAKER_00>Bring to Him the things you've been praying for and ask Him to strengthen your trust in His timing and His ways.

00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.520
<v SPEAKER_00>Invite Him to replace doubt with confidence in His character.

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:10.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask Him to help you believe that your prayers are heard and that He is moving even now.

00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:13.919
<v SPEAKER_00>Another way to build our faith is to believe for those around us.

00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:23.680
<v SPEAKER_00>Pause for a moment and think of the people in your life who is someone who you know or might suspect is believing God for something.

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.439
<v SPEAKER_00>Join your faith with theirs and take a minute to pray for them.
