The Bible contains the solution to every challenge. Whether it's a financial dilemma or a health issue, the Word of God contains your answer.

The Lord doesn't need you to remind Him of your circumstances. He already knows about them. In fact, He knew about them before you did.

That's why He gave you His Word - the solution handbook - to help you overcome all obstacles. How do I know? Because God said His Word will always accomplish His purpose (Isa. 55:11).

Instead of dwelling on the problem and spending most of your time telling God what's not going right in your life, search the Scripture and pray the solution He's already provided.

For example: If you're suffering from a sickness, don't confess that you're sick by saying, "I'm sick." Instead, confess your healing by saying to yourself and others, "According to Isaiah 53:5, by His stripes I am healed."

When speaking directly to God, make it personal by praying,

"Lord, Your Word says, '[Christ] was wounded for [my] transgressions, he was bruised for [my] iniquities: the chastisement of [my] peace was upon him; and with his stripes [I am] healed.' Therefore I believe I've received my healing in Jesus' Name!"

Remember, always pray the solution. Unfortunately, many Christians have allowed traditional teaching to rob them of the blessings produced by praying according to the Word.

Some people have been taught that prayer is simply talking to the Lord. In reality, talking in and of itself does not get God's attention. Praying according to His will, which is His Word, does.

The Amplified Bible says,

And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us.
(1 John 5:14)

Verse 15 assures us that if the Lord hears us, we can have whatever we ask. In other words, for the Lord to hear us, our prayers must be in line with His will. We have to speak God's language in order to get His attention.

Therefore what you say in prayer is the key to getting your prayers answered. You must communicate to God what He has already communicated to you, fully assured that your prayers will have results.
