John 15:7-8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed\u00a0and\u00a0restored. The heartfelt\u00a0and\u00a0persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) is able to accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God\u2014it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/span>James 5:16 AMP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God never promised to confirm our opinions. He promised to confirm His Word with signs following. That is why we can pray Scripture with confidence, trusting God to work as we pray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fear, empty repetition, and unbelief do not produce the same fruit as prayer rooted in God\u2019s Word and offered in faith. When God has spoken, we can trust His will and bring His promises to Him in prayer. We can pray with confidence, knowing He hears us and is faithful to His Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will pray according to God\u2019s Word and with confidence I will receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
