Why God Answers My Prayers

 

/The man answered, “Here is an astonishing thing!

You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.

31 We know that God does* not listen to sinners,* but he *does listen* to one who worships him and obeys his will.

32 Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.

33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

34 They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you trying to teach us?” *And they drove him out*.

*John 9:30-34*/

 

God Answer My Prayers When

 

I Seek To *[ABIDE]* In Him.

 

/“7 //If you *abide in me*, and my* words abide in you*, *ask for whatever you wish*, and it will be done for you.

//8 //My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.

//9 //As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love.

//10 //If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.

//11 //I have said these things to you so* that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete*”./

John 15:7-11

 

 

I Am Willing To *[FORGIVE OTHERS]*.

/24 //So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

25 “Whenever you *stand praying, forgive*, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.”/

Mark 11:24-25

 

 

I Cheerfully *[SHARE WITH OTHERS]*.

/If you close your ear to the cry of the poor, you *will cry out and not be heard*/.

*Proverbs 21:13*

 

/7 //Each of you must give as you have *purposed in your heart*, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

8 And* God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance*, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work./

*2 Cor 9:7-8*

 

 

I Believe He Will *[ANSWER]*.

/5 //If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you.

6 But *ask in faith*, *never doubting*, for the one who doubts is like a *wave of the sea*, driven and tossed by the wind; 7 for the doubter, being double-minded and unstable in every way, must not expect to receive anything from the Lord./*

James 1:5-7*

 

 

I Pray *[IN JESUS NAME]*

*Ask and you will receive,* so that your joy may be complete./

/20 //For in him every one of God’s promises is a “Yes.”

For this reason it is *through him that we say the “Amen,*” to the glory of God.

21 But it is God who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us, 22 by putting his seal on us and giving us his Spirit in our hearts as a first installment.
