3427 Faithful prayer.... power of faith and prayer....

February 4, 1945: Book 44

A believing prayer will work miracles if you send it up to Me in distress. And thus you have a means which banishes every adversity.... Why then should you still be timid?.... For I hear and listen to such a prayer because it is pleasing to Me. Believe in Me and in My love, believe in My omnipotence and call upon Me, and I will come to your aid, for I do not want you to suffer.... Yet I want to be recognized by you as the father of His children, and therefore I want you to trustingly come to Me with every worry so that I will take it away from you. For I have the power and also the will to do so, I can help you, and I want to help you as soon as you are not apostate to Me, as soon as you feel like My children and desire to come to the father. And you express this will through believing prayer.... Stand in profound faith and ask for My grace, for strength and help.... this is the state which is to be achieved on earth and which enables you to gain insight into the spiritual kingdom. But this state also earns you the fulfilment of your requests, for now you are such that I can call out to you: Ask and it shall be given you. I Myself have given you the promise and I will truly fulfil it if you pray to Me in the right way. But a right prayer should ascend to Me in childlike trust, you should not doubt for a moment that I will grant your request, you should imagine My greater than great love for you and rely on this love so firmly that it will not deny you anything. Yet your prayer should predominantly be for your soul's salvation and earthly only for the prevention of severe adversity, but you should never ask for futile things, for I will give you what you need for your earthly life if you seriously strive for My kingdom. But if you are in earthly distress then trustingly take refuge in My fatherly heart and I will banish all adversity. And thus you are never alone, never helpless and abandoned, for you always have prayer as soon as you believe. And a prayer coming from the heart will always please Me, and I will grant My help to the earthly child, often in a miraculous way, because nothing is impossible for Me and therefore I can also banish the most severe adversity if I thereby want to prove the strength of faith and prayer to a believing earthly child....

Amen
