Jeremiah 33:3 (NASB)
3 ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

Armin Gesswein said that the promises of God are “the molds into which we pour our prayers.”

Praying the promises of God in scripture brings them alive to us.  We pray for what has already been foretold.  When we believe and expect them to be answered – that is faith.  It is taking God at His Word.

I have often prayed that God would increase my faith.  It is, after all, a gift from God.  But He has given us the means to increase our faith – to read His promises and then pray them back to Him.  What an honor to God to pray His vows; to have the faith to ask for what He has guaranteed to us.

Father, Your pledges are pure gold.  We can trust them, because we trust in You.  I pray that I would pour out prayers that would fit into the promise molds which You have given to us in Your Word.  Thank you that Your Word became flesh.  Thank you for Jesus, for I pray this in His name.  Amen.
