They share how their prayers are not answered. God's favor is on others, but not them. It has been so long since God has heard my prayers, I do not think it's working. Those pretty much sums up the majority of what is being said.
What I haven’t heard is that they have anchored their prayers on what God said as truth. Instead of believing the promises of God (for themselves) over circumstances, they believe the circumstance out weigh the promises.
They are believing the lies of the enemy, not the truth of the Word of God. No wonder they do not see good results... they are not believing in favor for their own lives.
In almost every situation the concept and thought of hoping for a good outcome is far from their thinking. Many succumb to the circumstances rather than stand on the promises of God.
One of the most important verses in the Bible reveals a key to receiving favor in the midst of any situation or circumstance. Look at this passage:
"...but let all those rejoice who put their trust in You: Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend (protect, cover) them; Let those also who love Your name be joyful in You.
For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous (those in right standing with You); with favor You will surround him/her as with (like) a shield." (Psalm 5:11-12 NKJV)
Trust = Protection = God's Favor
In this passage, King David was crying out to the Lord and thanking Him in advance for His promises to those who were in right standing with God. He believed for protection against those coming against him and spread lies, including his very own son Absalon and his so-called beloved nation.
Regardless to what was happening, the King trusted and believed God would surround Him with protection, no matter what the enemy was about to do.
David anchored His morning prayer in God's promises and believed them as the truth over circumstances. He stood on the promises, and God surrounded him like a protective shield, preventing the enemies from prevailing.
It is important to anchor your prayers in what God said in His Word. Stand firm, stay fixated and grounded on the Word of God, not the enemies, situation or circumstance(s). Focus on scriptures that cover a promise over the situation.
No matter what it looks like, remind yourself that you have a covering of God's favor on your life. That favor holds promises greater than anything that is coming against you.
As you pray over each situation/cirumstance, have faith in the Word of God and that He will be faithful to His Word and promises.
Do not let your prayers get washed out to sea and lose hope thinking that God has lost control over things. He hasn’t.
Anchor yourself to the Lord in prayer, and you will be biblically promise-tied to His favor.
God wants us to be overcomers and profit from our trials, knowing that He is able to deliver on what He has already said through scriptures. We can be confident that unlike us, He always delivers! (Read James 1:1-8)
No longer do we have to wonder if God thinks about what we are experiencing in life. We can set our anchor of hope in Jesus, and trust in the truth that God has already said what He will do for those who believe. We have His Word on it as a trustworthy anchor for favor!
“This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary. Jesus has already gone in there for us. He has become our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.” (Hebrews 6:19-20 NLT)
If you said that hope is lost, I’d tell you my hope is anchored … to the promise of the cross of Jesus. Through every trial, test, tribulation I’ll trust and keep holding on to The Anchor who is unshakeable.
His Name and Word are higher and greater than anything we’ll ever encounter! Hold on to the Favor Anchor in prayer!
