In Jesus' answer to the blind men who were seeking Him we can see what is probably the single most important question that each of us believers have to answer—continually: "Do you believe that I am able?' The willing part should be a foregone conclusion. It serves us well to remember what Paul had written to the believers in Rome and for our instruction:

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:31-32)

Our prayer life does not, should not, be about trying to convince God to be good to us and to do what will bless us—He has certainly already proven His love, His willingness and His purpose to do just that. He proved His power by raising Jesus from the dead! Do you think your situation is beyond that? Check Lazarus if you are not sure. That frees us to pray about what He will do to glorify His Name and bless others. He will! Do you believe it?

"Therefore do not be like [the unbelievers]; for your Father knows what you need, before you ask Him. Pray, then, in this way: 'Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”   (Matthew 6:8-13)
