No Appointmet Necessary

Have you ever wondered...

- How to talk to God?

- If God really listens to you?

Read: Mark 11:20-24; James 5:15

Maybe it seems too good to be true that you have immediate access to the Creator of the Universe. No appointment is necessary. You don't need to ask his secretary if he is busy. You can bypass the lobby, phones, and security guards and walk right into his office. His focus is completely on you, and his time is unlimited.

You would expect nothing less from your father, right? God doesn't treat you like a stranger or a business partner. You are his child, dearly loved and cherished. If you believe that God loves you, then you can trust that he will listen to your prayers.

In Mark 11, Jesus told us to waste our words in prayer if we do not believe that God will answer us. But, if we are confident that he will meet our requests, then be ready! Ephesians 3:20 tells us that God wants to bless us beyond our dreams.

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them - Mark 11:24
