Hebrews 11 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read Hebrews 11.

Meditate on verses 1 and 6.

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for,

the conviction of things not seen.

And without faith it is impossible to please Him,

for he who comes to God must believe that He is

and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Hebrews 11 is the Hall of Faith, a list of 20 Old Testament saints who believed God plus a list of 25 faithful actions by unnamed believers.  God had their names and stories eternally written, so you could have examples of faith pleasing to the Lord. 

These 45 individuals believed God’s promise of Messiah.  They did not actually see Messiah before their earthly death, but they did not waver in unbelief because they knew God who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23; 11:11).  

What about you?  Do you believe that God is?  Are you a person of faith?  Could you be Hebrews 11:41?  By faith ________________, …  Would God write your name in that blank?

Pray Hebrews 11:6 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, may ___________ and I please You.

Make us people of faith. 

May we come to You, God, and believe that You are.

We want to be rewarded by You

because we are people who seek You.

Because of Your name, Jesus~”
