Submitted by Amanda, site moderator.
I have always had trouble picking a favorite Bible verse. But I think Matthew 21:22 has to be at the top of the list:
"And whatever things you ask for in prayer, believing, you will receive."
That is a verse that shapes my whole life. It shapes my faith, it shpes the way I pray, and it shapes my attitude. it is a very positive thing, and I thank Jesus that He said it.
I sat down and took this verse, meditated on it until I fully understood it and grasped it, and I started praying more faithfully. And lately, some big things have been happening in my life because of my faithful prayer.
I began to pray for things to happen and praised God before I ever saw results because I knew he had already done them. I knew in my heart that He would answer me, because He is an awesome God and He is faithful to his word.
I have seen so many answered prayers since I began to understand the kind of faith a mustard seed has (Matthew 17:20). I have been healed of ailments, seen my prayers answered in the lives of people I've prayed for, and I have seen so much blessing in my life. I have even seen miracles worked in the lives of others who pray with this amazing faith.
This is the main point of this testimony: prayer is a powerful thing. Meditate on Matthew 21:22 for a while. Begin to grasp it. Begin to pray for things and sincerely and truly have faith that God has already accomplished what you have asked for, and you will see tremendous results. Begin to praise God for His help and love and glory and mercy before you see the answer to your prayer, and you will begin to grow in your faith.
