A companion Bible study from Vince Baker Ministries
What does it mean to believe when you pray?
Jesus directs faith toward God and puts forgiveness in the same conversation as bold prayer.
Read the passage in context
- Mark 11:22–25 · KJV
Wigglesworth compares believing for salvation with believing when we pray. He repeatedly moves the reader from waiting for a feeling to relying on what God has said.
From the passage to daily life
Read through verse 25 before turning the passage into a formula. Jesus joins confidence in prayer to the decision to forgive. That combination turns a private request into a test of how we treat a real person.
Discussion and reflection
- What does it mean to believe when you pray?
Jesus directs faith toward God and puts forgiveness in the same conversation as bold prayer.
- Is there someone I should forgive as I pray?
Name the injury honestly, bring it to God, and choose one step away from retaliation. Forgiveness can coexist with wise boundaries.
Put the study into practice
Write one request beside one action of forgiveness you can take this week.
