And everything you ask in prayer with faith, you will receive».
Here Jesus sums up the meaning of his previous words, teaching that prayer receives its power from faith. He shows that communion with God is not merely words, but trust in his will and goodwill. “Ask in faith” means to approach not with doubt or wavering, but with a confident awareness that God hears and does what agrees with his will. This word affirms the unity of prayer and faith, where prayer opens a person’s heart, and faith joins him to God’s active power. From this it also follows that a heart open before God will not generate desires that contradict his will. Jesus’ word is an exhortation to believe not in what is received, but in the Lord himself, because true faith always brings a real answer.
