The
earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power
available [dynamic in its working].
إِنَّ الصَّلاَةَ الْحَارَّةَ الَّتِي يَرْفَعُهَا الْبَارُّ لَهَا فَعَّالِيَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ.
James 5:16 (Amplified
Bible)
Keep on
asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on
knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you.
اِسْأَلُوا، تُعْطَوْا. اُطْلُبُوا، تَجِدُوا. اِقْرَعُوا، يُفْتَحْ لَكُمْ.
Matthew 7:7 (Amplified
Bible)
For I
know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and
not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
لأَنِّي
عَرَفْتُ
مَا رَسَمْتُهُ لَكُمْ. إِنَّهَا خُطَطُ سَلاَمٍ لَا شَرٍّ لأَمْنَحَكُمْ مُسْتَقْبَلاً وَرَجَاءً.
Jeremiah 29:11 New
King James Version (NKJV)
"Ask
a sign for yourself from the LORD your God; ask it either in the depth below or
in the height above."
«اطْلُبْ عَلاَمَةً مِنَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، سَوَاءٌ فِي عُمْقِ الْهَاوِيَةِ أَوْ فِي ارْتِفَاعِ أَعْلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ»
Isaiah 7:11 NKJV
To
everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven
لِكُلِّ
شَيْءٍ
أَوَانٌ،
وَلِكُلِّ
أَمْرٍ
تَحْتَ
السَّمَاءِ
زَمَانٌ.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 NKJV
Now to
Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works in us
وَالْقَادِرُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ، وَفْقاً لِلْقُدْرَةِ الْعَامِلَةِ فِينَا، مَا يَفُوقُ بِلاَ حَصْرٍ كُلَّ مَا نَطْلُبُ أَوْ نَتَصَوَّرُ،
Ephesians 3:20 NKJV
It is
good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
خَيْرٌ
لِلْمَرْءِ
أَنْ يَنْتَظِرَ بِصَمْتٍ خَلاَصَ الرَّبِّ.
And He
said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in
weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that
the power of Christ may rest upon me.
فَقَالَ
لِي: «نِعْمَتِي تَكْفِيكَ، لأَنَّ قُدْرَتِي تُكَمَّلُ فِي الضَّعْفِ!» فَأَنَا أَرْضَى بِأَنْ أَفْتَخِرَ مَسْرُوراً بِالضَّعَفَاتِ الَّتِي فِيَّ، لِكَيْ تُخَيِّمَ عَلَيَّ قُدْرَةُ الْمَسِيحِ.
2 Corinthians 12:9 NKJV
I
believe God answers our prayers and needs in 8 different ways. He may decide:
1.
I will give you before you ask
2.
Yes. Prayer request granted
3.
Yes, but you will have to wait
4.
Yes, but not as expected
5.
Yes, and here is more
6.
Be specific in your request
7.
Wait. I have something better for you
8.
No, that is not good for you “My grace is sufficient for you”
God
loves us and whatever answer He chooses it is for our best. We need to trust
The Lord and not lean on our own understanding, for His ways are extremely
different and better than ours. Sometimes going through tribulation teaches us
prayer and patience; patience can help us acquire experience which can lead to
the increase of hope. Hope then increases our expectation, which in turn
increases our confidence in the Lord.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
