The Prayer of Faith
(Mathew 21:21-22)
Prayer possesses the extraordinary ability to address all the issues in our lives and to transform the world. God always listens to our prayers and responds to our sincere requests. Our mission is to live victorious lives by becoming individuals of prayer, aligning our prayers with God's Word and His will, and praying in faith. In doing so, we are recognized by God through our prayers.

1. The work of Faith

　　　During Jesus' journey from Bethany to Jerusalem, he encountered a fig tree lush with leaves but bore no fruit. He declared that the tree would never bear fruit again, causing it to wither, which left the disciples amazed and prompted them to question why it had withered. In response, Jesus spoke about the prayer of faith (Matthew 21:21). Trusting in prayer and believing in the fulfillment of spoken words lead to miraculous outcomes. Abraham, even at his old age of 100, received his son Isaac and was recognized as the father of faith due to his unwavering trust in God’s promise (Romans 4:18). Likewise, when we pray in faith, not focusing on circumstances or human limitations, God will work wonders and accomplish extraordinary deeds.
　　　
2. The power of Prayer

　　　We must hold on to the teachings of Jesus, who assured us that we will receive whatever we believe and ask for. With unwavering faith in God's provision of the best, we should earnestly seek, search, and knock until we receive an answer. "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you" (Matthew 7:7). When we pray with faith, relying on His word, positive outcomes are guaranteed. Let us strive to be dedicated in prayer, bringing joy to the heart of God and experiencing marvelous blessings and grace.

3. The prayer of Gratitude

　　　The prayer of faith is enhanced by the spirit of gratitude. The Apostle Paul encouraged the saints in the Philippian church to "present your requests to God with thanksgiving" (Philippians 4:6). Our gratitude is never merely for the circumstances; it reflects an absolute positivity rooted in faith in our good God. Moreover, giving thanks in all circumstances is a command from God (1 Thessalonians 5:18). When we pray with gratitude, God delights in our prayers and opens the doors of heaven to pour us with abundant blessings. Let us earnestly strive to be dedicated individuals in prayer, living lives of triumph, and overcoming all challenges with unwavering faith and abundant gratitude.
