Prayer and Promises
Insight from Ellen G. White
For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ!
— 2 CORINTHIANS 1:20
The Bible is the garden of God, and as we see the lovely flowers of promise, we should gather them to our souls, for “exceeding great and precious promises” have been given unto us, that by these we might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. — The Signs of the Times, February 8, 1892
;
These short devotions begin with a promise and finish with a prayerful response from the message. Experience more thoughtful prayers and a deeper appreciation of the power of God’s word.
PRAY in faith, “THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMES THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH.” PREVAILING PRAYER IS THE PRAYER OF LIVING FAITH; IT TAKES GOD AT HIS WORD, AND CLAIMS HIS PROMISES.

The lessons of Christ were illustrated so clearly that the lowest and most simple-minded could readily comprehend them. Jesus did not employ long and difficult words in His discourses, but used plain language, adapted to the minds of the common people. — Testimonies for the Church Volume 4, p.260
