Praying vs.Praying with FAITH

Prayer is very important in a Christian's life. I believe it shows our love for Him as an act of talking and spending time with Him .God is still powerful and still does miracles, but i think the problem with  prayer now a days is people don't know how! Don't get me wrong , God hears your prayers and knows your heart but there is a difference in "praying, and praying with faith."   Knowing that" He can" and that "He will" are two different things.
Now with that being said, i believe we also have to understand that Learning "how to pray" all starts with scripture... knowing what His will is and what His promises are. 
There is a difference between believing what God promises and praying for things you'd like to be true. When you start praying biblically more prayers will be answered and you will see the Holy spirit grow in you!!

  This weekend I had a lot of alone time with God. I knew that I needed it without distraction so I canceled all of my plans and just sat at home and let the Holy spirit speak to me, while I prayed and read my bible as well. On the way to church sunday I said this prayer, 
                 " Lord, i really want to be used for Your glory and I want to grow in You so much, and my light to shine so bright that people could NEVER say that i accomplished these things in myself ALONE.... But that I rise above through Your spirit so high that there would be NO DOUBT that You are living in me and that YOU are the one worthy to be praised! Give me a NEW experience in worship with You today and let me learn, and unveil a new mystery in Your word. Convict me, and reveal to me the sins in my heart that i have gotten so used to, that i see nothing wrong with anymore. Help me not to take on these projects of sin by myself, help me to trust you to mold me into the godly woman you want me to be, because I want nothing less the Your best!!!"

I got what i asked for. The Holy spirit overwhelmed me with great joy for Him when i worshiped and the convictions and revealing came. I did not get discouraged, because although I have soooo much to work on(and always will) I finally am "ok" with letting God mold me, because no matter how hard I try I can NEVER be what He wants me to be without HIM!
I get SUPER excited when I see evidence of Christ changing my life and my heart because I think, " How cool is it that the people i read about in the bible like Moses, Mary, Jonah, Sarah, Ruth, & Esther, were molded by and served the same most powerful God that is still today?!"  I am just simply AMAZED! It's not about getting up trying your best and failing everyday, it's about surrendering and letting Him mold YOU!!
