Week 115: Guaranteed 100%



                    Guaranteed 100%
     Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

• Results guaranteed. . .
• Customer satisfaction guaranteed. . .
• Money back guaranteed. . .

When we pray, we have to make sure our prayers are aligned with God’s plans. It’s tragic when people get upset, even to the point of being angry with God, because He didn’t answer their prayers the way they wanted them answered. They will argue the fact that they followed all the “guidelines” of faith. When in fact, they missed step number #1—aligning their will, with God’s will. 
   
Want a 100% guarantee that your prayers will be answered? Sure you do; we all do. Well, it’s very simple.
               Pray for God’s will to be done—and mean it!              

When Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane, He didn’t want to go to the cross. However, He submitted His will, for God’s will to be done. (Matthew 26:39) 

   It’s fine for us to have things that we would like for God to do. But, we have to know that God knows what’s best. He sees the complete map of our journey. We only see a teeny-tiny glimpse—and that’s open to misinterpretation.

 This is the [remarkable degree of] confidence which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that if we ask anything according to His will, [that is, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us.  And if we know [for a fact, as indeed we do] that He hears and listens to us in whatever we ask, we [also] know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted to us] the requests which we have asked from Him. (I John 5:14-15 AMP)
                        Results—100% Guaranteed!
