When we have problems and challenges of life, we have to pray and believe in God that he will help us to handle the issues that we are battling with. We do not need to sit back and lament or to be depressed because of the heaviness of our hearts. The Bible has taught us that we should put our trust in God. We should not allow the challenges of life to weigh us down. We have the privilege of telling God everything that we are passing through.
But we should understand that only praying alone will not make us to achieve the things that we are expecting. When you have anything to ask from God, come to him with a believing heart and burn down every doubt in your heart. A doubtful heart will not be able to receive anything from God. According to the Bible, anyone who doubt is double-minded. A double minded person cannot receive anything from God.
Our prayers must be back up with appropriate actions. We should have the faith that the things which we are asking from God, he is able to do it for us. Without faith it is impossible to please God. That means that we cannot receive anything from God if we do not have faith. We should have faith in God that everything that we ask him, he is capable of doing them for us. Another thing is that faith without works is a dead faith. We should be wise in making what we are asking from God to be actualized. We need to work and back up our faith.
