Jeremiah 42-24
What God said to me – My people have it all backward – they decide what they are going to do and then pray and ask Me to bless it when they should start by asking Me what they should do. It’s no wonder they lose faith because they have so few prayers answered. I promised to answer when you pray according to My will – not yours. No matter the circumstances you should always begin by praying and asking Me for direction. You can’t truly know how to pray for anything until you seek My will. Only when you have ascertained My will can you pray in faith. There will be times when I reveal My will in a matter and it is not what you want. When that happens rather than praying in vain for it anyway or trying to change My mind, pray for Me to change yours so your heart and mind align with Mine. This is where you can truly pray in faith.
