Kanaan Message for Today

You know what it is to pray. But that is not enough. You need to pray in faith, firmly trusting in God’s help. Put your faith into action. Do not just bring petitions.

Pray like this: ‘Thank You, Father, that You have already planned help for me. Thank You that You have a solution to my problem. Thank You that Jesus’ victory over my sin has already been won.’ There is a promise attached to such prayer. It moves the arm of God so that the difficulty must yield before His almighty power. Make use of this provision. Through thanksgiving you will become strong and full of joy. When your pleas to the heavenly Father are embedded in thanksgiving and faith, they will be heard. (see Matthew 21:22 & Philippians 4:6)

We are not at the mercy of militant leaders and powers. We are in the hands of God the Father, who alone can make wars cease. Through fervent prayer, contrition and repentance we can move the hand of God when it is outstretched in judgment. But where are those who avail themselves of this possibility? God the Father is waiting for us to pray and move His heart and hand so that He can be gracious to us and our people again. (Psalm 46:9)

Perhaps at this moment there are things in your life which you would like to wish away — difficult relationships or other unsolved problems causing you distress. Listen! All this is challenging you to use an opportunity you have neglected so far: Turn all your problems into prayer. There is no unanswered prayer. Persevere in prayer until help comes. It will come; indeed, God in His love has already planned how He will help. He is waiting for you to come to Him in prayer.
