An Attitude of Trust

"And it came to pass, before he had done speaking...and he said, Blessed be Jehovah…who hath not forsaken his lovingkindness and his truth" (Gen. 24:15, 27).

Every right prayer is answered before the prayer itself is finished--before we have "done speaking." This is because God has pledged His Word to us that whatsoever we ask in Christ's name (that is, in oneness with Christ and His will) and in faith, shall be done.

As God's Word cannot fail, whenever we meet those simple conditions in prayer, the answer to our prayer has been granted and completed in Heaven as we pray, even though its showing forth on earth may not occur until long afterward.

So it is well to close every prayer with praise to God for the answer that He has already granted; He who never forsakes His loving-kindness and His truth. (See Daniel 9:20-27 and 10:12.)  --Messages for the Morning Watch

When we believe for a blessing, we must take the attitude of faith, and begin to act and pray as if we had the blessing.  We must treat God as if He had given us our request. We must lean our weight over upon Him for the thing that we have claimed, and just take it for granted that He gives it, and is going to continue to give it. This is the attitude of trust.

When the wife is married, she at once falls into a new attitude, and acts in accordance with the fact; and so when we take Christ as our Savior, as our Sanctifier, as our Healer, or as our Deliverer, He expects us to fall into the attitude of recognizing Him in the capacity that we have claimed, and expect Him to be to us all that we have trusted Him for. -Selected

God answers prayer, its that simple. He said that he would be attentive to our prayers (2 Chron. 7:14-15). He has promised to listen to our desires and concerns (Jer. 29:11-12). If you were to speak with Abraham, he would tell you that God answers prayer. If you were able to speak with David, he would tell you that in the darkest of times, God answers prayer. If you would speak with Hezekiah, he would tell you that God answers death bed prayers. If you were confer with Joshua, he would tell you that God answers "Sun Stand Still Prayers". If you were to speak with Elijah, he would tell you that God answers prayer in the season of drought.

If you were sit down and discuss prayer with the prayer master, Daniel, he would tell you that even when the answer seems delayed, God answers prayers, from the very moment that you open your mouth to pray in faith, God has already answered the prayer (Dan. 10:2-12). So, delay is never denial with God, when you pray in faith by the authority and unity with Christ (Through the Authority in Jesus' Name, by way of spiritual Power of Attorney), it moves God into response immediately. Whether it takes the physical manifestation some time to appear is irrelevant to the one wielding faith.

So, take your burdens and cares to the Lord and trust that he hears. God told Moses I have heard the cries of my people in Egypt. He hears your cries as well. He knows your pain. He is cognizant of your struggles. Before you finish speaking your prayer, God has responded and the process of deliverance, breakthrough and elevation has begun. Do not lose hope, the season of harvest is near. ~ Dr. Rick Wallace
