When you pray well, you live well.

"Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”  (Luke 1: 45 NABRE)

Mary was richly blessed because she believed in the promise of God to her.  God has also made several promises to us.  How do we tap into the power of faith in order to appropriate what God has promised to us?

#1.  Prayer opens our heart and mind to God.  When we pray, we talk to God.
#2.  When we read the word of God or good spiritual books, God speaks to us.
#3.  As you repeat steps #1 and #2 every day,  you come to sense if the promise is truly yours or not.
#4. If God is asking you to wait for your answer, you add praying for patience to your daily prayer.

It took a long time before God answered Sarah and Elizabeth.  Nobody knows how long it will take for God to answer your prayers.

Come O Emmanuel, our King and Giver of Law.
