Acting in harmony with such prayers, we should do our part in cultivating faith in our hearts, by regularly calling to mind the abundant precious promises of God as found in his Word.—Heb. 10:22,23; II Pet. 1:4; I John 2:24,25
Having made a covenant with the Heavenly Father, these promises are ours, and in our hearts and minds we should claim them in prayer and with thanksgiving. When trials, difficulties, perplexities, or the storms of life arise, we should think of, and hold fast to, God’s promises, remembering that they belong to those who love him and have given themselves in consecration to do his will. (Ps. 50:5; Mal. 3:17) Let us then resolve to trust the word of the Heavenly Father implicitly. “We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”—Rom. 8:28
