Prayer and Faith

Prayer is a matter of faith. But faith is not something that a person has, like stamina or strength. We hear people talking about building up their faith, so they can pay and ask something of God, and he will give it to them. But no matter how much fith we have, we will not move God to go beyond his nature, his character and his word.

Faith is trusting God to act in faithfulness to his nature. So, faith "grows" as we increase in our understanding of God, and of our relationship with him.
