All prayer should be prayers of faith

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6 NKJV)

The Bible speaks of a specific kind of prayer which most often is called the ‘prayer of faith’, but all prayer should have this essential ingredient in its exercise. Without faith we cannot please God. Every form of prayer should be from a heart fully trusting the One to whom the prayer is addressed, eagerly expecting the desired result as promised in the Word. A prayer of consecration for example, although practised because specific details of God’s will may still be unknown, should nevertheless be employed, fully trusting that what is committed to the Father will indeed be placed in His hand, and that He will personally take up responsibility for that which is committed to Him.

“…Still I am not ashamed, for I know (perceive, have knowledge of, and am acquainted with) Him Whom I have believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on), and I am [positively] persuaded that He is able to guard and keep that which has been entrusted to me and which I have committed [to Him] until that day.” (2 Timothy 1:12)
