A prayer to grow your confidence in God by Matthew Pryor.

But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. James 1, 6 through 8.

Ever pray and then wonder if it were going to do any good,

ever knelt down and bowed your head,

but felt disconnected, as your prayers were just drifting off into the ether?

Ever had prayers go without an answer of any kind?

This is an interesting dynamic really. Most of the time we have no trouble

accepting that the Bible is true, that it's God breathed, that it's the word of life.

Then we turn around and question what the Bible says about prayer. We might not see it that way, yet that's what happens when we

doubt the strength or usefulness of our prayer life.

The Book of James should encourage you as it proves the power of prayer.
