You will help your child! “…when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then YOUR FATHER, who sees what is done in secret, WILL REWARD YOU.“ (Matt. 6:6) You, will be rewarded BY RECEIVING ANSWERS TO YOUR PRAYERS by your loving, caring Abba Father who will help you TO KNOW how to pray!!! “Therefore I tell you, WHATEVER you ask for in prayer, BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT, AND IT WILL BE YOURS. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, FORGIVE THEM, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” (Mark 11:24-25) You must BELIEVE to receive and you must FORGIVE to receive!
WHATEVER YOU ASK FOR IN PRAYER, BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT, AND THEN IT WILL BE YOURS!
