The Prayer of faith, like some plant rooted in a fruitful soil, draws its virtue from a disposition which has been brought into conformity with the mind of Christ. (David McIntyre)
Here are eight characteristics of faith-filled prayers from David McIntyre’s book The Hidden Life of Prayer:
And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.” (1 John 5:14)
Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (John 14:13)
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. (John 15:7)
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us. (Ephesians 3:20)
And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. (Mark 11:25)
Whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. (1 John 3:22)
And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. (Luke 11:9)
The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. (James 5:16)
