Faith in Action Hebr.11:1

 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Hebr.1:1

... If we truly have cast our burdens upon another,can they continue to pressure us?

If we carry them with us from the throne of grace ,it is obvious that we not left them there.

In my own life I test the prayers in this way:after committing something to God , if I can come away ,like Hannah did ,with no more sadness ,pain,or anxiety in my heart ,I see it as proof that I have prayed the prayer of faith.

But if I pray and then still carry my burden ,I conclude that my faith was not exercised.
