Pastor's Recipe for Answered Prayer
Rev. Margaret Baker of Home Fellowship Church urges a two step prayer plan built on commitment and trust. She explains that submission to God's way, not forcing outcomes, aligns believers with divine power and fulfills Psalm 37 5. The message cites Psalms 18 30 and Hebrews 11 6 to frame faith, belief, and reliance on God as essential.
