We have been talking a lot about prayer in our Sunday School class. We have recently been reminded to pray specifically so that we have the opportunity to see God at work. As Water Walkers we should also pray boldly. When we read this verse from James 1:6 NIV we are instructed to pray with confidence; “But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” Let’s evaluate our prayers. Are we praying specifically, boldly, and confidently?

I’ve been in a situation where the Doctors gave my Dad just six months to live. Looking back I believe we did pray specifically, boldly, and confidently. Did God answer our prayers? I choose to believe He did by giving us a mini miracle. Dad lived thirteen months. That time gave us seven more months with Dad. It is hardest to pray for God’s will to be done. As a Water Walker we can ask God to prepare us for His will.

I encourage you to listen to this song Thy Will by Hillary Scott. If you have a hard time composing a prayer, you can always turn to Mathew 6: 9-13 NIV;

““This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. ’” ‬‬
