| | | | | The Gratitude That Comes From Faith Cheryl Weber
When God answers prayer, we rightfully overflow with gratitude. Such gratitude, however, requires little faith as we already see the reality of what we asked for. But as Hebrews 11:1 says, “Faith is the assurance that what we hope for will come about and the certainty that what we cannot see exists.” (ISV)
That certainty is reflected in Philippians 4:6 where the apostle Paul encourages his readers to pair their requests and supplications to God with thanksgiving for as yet unrealized answers to prayer. Such a joining requires faith in the character of God, that he is good, willing, wise, and able to answer. It requires knowing that he is intimately involved in our lives and concerned about every detail. I believe the thanksgiving Paul had in mind here calls for the same intensity of response we lift up to God for answered prayers.
It’s important, however, to consider the words of 1 John 5:14. “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” (NIV) When we empty our hearts and minds of our own plans and align ourselves with the Father’s will, we ask according to the guidance of his Holy Spirit. The answers to such prayers already exist in God’s heart and he will release them in his own time and way.
As children of God through faith in Jesus Christ, we can come boldly to the Father’s throne to find help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16) Such faith, when coupled with gratitude, brings peace and security that guards our hearts and minds, keeping them from fear, discouragement, or despair and giving us a sure and lasting hope. (1 Peter 1:13) And as a true act of worship, it also brings great joy to our Father’s heart.
