By making scriptural prayers as in Philippians 4:6-7
We have looked at various ways as to how we might avoid making prayers that appear to go unanswered. A good place to start our prayers is by making them that line up with scripture such as the one in:
Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication (petition), with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Here is a good scriptural approach to making scriptural prayers that God is pleased to answer.
v6 God does not want you anxious or worrying , in fact worry is a sin because it doubts Gods ability to bring a timely answer. Furthermore and importantly we ought to pray with concomitant thanking of the Lord. Here is what this looks like in practice...
Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you that you have heard this prayer , and that you care about the situation and will respond at the appropriate time and manner. Amen
Here is what we can hope to happen next;
v7 the peace of God comes upon you This peace given by the Lord is beyond our ability to understand it but we can be aware that such peace guards our minds from all doubt , fear and unbelief. We can rest in the Lord once we have prayed correctly according to scripture.
This in turn boosts our faith because we have reassured ourselves that God has heard our prayer and the outcome is in his hands and that the Lord cares.
Amen
Personal Prayer
