INTRO: Last Sunday I spoke to you on what I called, "Prayer 201: Why Believe?" Prayer 101 was, "Why Pray?" Last Sunday we looked at this question from God's perspective. This Sunday we want to look at it from man's perspective. Why has God chosen that man must believe to have his prayers answered? From God's perspective I recommended to you that God requires faith before He responds to our praying because in that way He gets the glory. If God did not require faith, we would soon be puffed up out of proportion. Second, I believe that if God did not require faith, His righteousness would be at stake. If He answered our prayers apart from faith, we would be ruined and He would be unrighteous. The third reason I gave was that faith requires that we learn and know His will in many things before we can pray right. So the Scripture says that if was ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
