08 – Pray with Faith
Finally, prayer must be offered in faith.
Faith is built on the conviction that the Lord knows us, rules over our lives, and cares for us. Because of this, we can trust Him as we pray.
The Psalms remind us that God listens attentively to our cries (Psalm 40:1–3; Psalm 66:19–20) and comes to our aid (Psalm 121:1–3). He sees our needs even before we speak them. Faith is not about insisting that God do what we want, but trusting that He will do what is best. As Hebrews says, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1, NIV).
The prophet Habakkuk prayed this way, even in hardship:
“Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights.” (Habakkuk 3:17–19, NIV)
To pray with faith is to trust God completely—even when we don’t yet see the answer. For, as Scripture reminds us, “without faith it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11:6, NIV).
About this Plan

My dear friends, in the Sermon on the Mount—the longest recorded discourse of Jesus Christ in the Gospels—we find the prayer known as the “Our Father” or the “Lord’s Prayer.” Before teaching His disciples this prayer, Jesus first taught them how to pray. That is the focus of this series of reflections: what the right posture is when we approach God in prayer. Not the physical posture—whether kneeling, standing, sitting, or lying down—but the posture of the heart!
