Jesus states explicitly, "What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them" Mark 11:24. Let's take a listen to the "Requirements of Effective Praying."

You don't have to be a great speaker; you just need to deliver your message. Don't worry about messing up. Chances are, you will know more about your topic than 90 percent of your audience. Focus on providing value to the audience instead of trying to impress them. "You can speak well if your tongue can deliver the message of your heart." Blessings, The Word for You Today!

Romans 8:31-39 We are free from judgment because Christ died for us and we have His righteousness. We are free from defeat because Christ lives in us by His Spirit, and we share His life. We are free from discouragement because Christ is coming for us, and we shall share His glory. We are free from fear because Christ intercedes for us, and we cannot be separated from His love.

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us—whatever we—we know that we have what we asked of Him. 1 John 5:14-15 NIV
