Be Expectant!

Jesus said in Mark 11:24, Whatsoever things you desire when you pray, believe you receive them and you shall have them.

What good does it do to pray without expecting to receive? You might as well not pray at all, for faith is required to receiving what you desire.

Jesus said in Matthew 9:29, “According to your faith, let it be done unto you.”

Believe also that God has your best interest in mind and simply trust that everything will work out. He didn't say we would see the manifestation of our prayers immediately. We must keep believing and not waver.

"For a man who wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. Let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord" (James 1:6-7).

Expectation is the key to receiving from God when you pray! If you are not going to expect God to act, then don't pray at all. It's ineffective and displeases Him when you don't believe.
