Message: “If You Had More Faith, God Will Answer Your Prayers”

Key verse: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

Big idea
God hears the prayers of His children, offered in faith, and He
answers every one of them.

HOW TO PRAY
1: Make your

to God.

So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it
should leave me. 2 Corinthians 12:7-8 (ESV)

2: Receive God’s

.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 (ESV)

Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10 (ESV)

saying, Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me.
Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.
Luke 22:42 (ESV)

3: Live in light of what we have

.
For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10 (ESV)
