Speak “Living” Words

A conversation with God, through prayer, is a powerful declaration of faith that brings His promises to life in our hearts and situations.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

– Hebrews 11:6 NKJV

In the quiet moments of prayer, we find ourselves not just speaking to God, but actively engaging in a powerful dialogue where our faith meets His promises. When we pray using God’s Word, it’s more than reciting Scripture; we are breathing life into our prayers with the faith that pleases Him. This act of faith-filled prayer is a way of holding up God’s promises to Him, reminding both ourselves and the heavens of His unchanging truths.

When we speak God’s Word in prayer, we align our hearts with His will, allowing His promises to resonate within us and reach out into our lives.

Isaiah 43:26 encourages, “Put me in remembrance; let us argue together; set forth your case, that you may be proved right.” This verse beautifully captures the picture of prayer as a conversation where we remind God—and ourselves—of His faithfulness. God never forgets His promises, but in speaking them, we strengthen our faith and affirm our trust in His character.

As we pray, we become active participants in God’s plan, speaking words that He has given us back to Him. This exchange is a beautiful reflection of our relationship with God, showing that we know and trust Him enough to bring His words to life in our mouths. This act of faith is pleasing to God, as it demonstrates our belief in His goodness and our confidence in His promises.
