Faith In Prayer for Miracles

Can you sit back and think of many days lately where we don’t hear about sickness ad tragedy in some way or another? The news is more than ready to bring us these stories, but as Christians, do we combat them with faith believing prayers or do we give them a passing “help them Lord”?
Brother Darvin said something in church today that made a lot of sense and stands true for a lot of Christians, shamefully, myself included at many times. He said that as Christians we are bad to pray for a prayer request that someone has one or two times and then stop regardless of if that person we are praying for has received their miracle yet.
Hebrews 11:6 in the NIV says this, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” The key word that I am wanting you to see here is earnestly. If we are only presenting our requests to the Lord once or twice, is that really earnestly seeking Him? Now granted it is hard to remember every single request made in the church house to be able to pray them again once, let alone more… But, do you think that the Lord would be mad if we take “notes” during prayer requests in order to help us remember and be able to pray the requests more earnestly – me either.
Before we go on, let me add that I am in no way saying that the Lord is going to do what you want just because you keep praying it over and over. The Lord sometimes answers our prayers with a no and sometimes with a not right now.
As far as faith believing prayers leading to miracles, our church has seen more than our share. For instance, little Abby who the doctors were sure was going to have complications and doesn’t, little Ryan’s eyesight getting better and better, and sister Ruby being cured of her breast cancer. Since it is still October and Breast Cancer Awareness month, I would like to elaborate on Sister Ruby a little further. She continued with her treatments as the doctors told her because she believed it was part of her healing – rest assured she knows who did the healing and held the cure in His mighty hand! She is such a faithful and faith filled woman that I can picture Jesus talking to her when he said in Matthew 9:22, "Take heart, daughter," He said, "Your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment.
