faith

This morning I hopped online to just check things out... I updated the verse of the day from bible gateway.. and this morning it caught my eye. Hebrews 11:1 "“ Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. "”. Wow, I have never heard this verse or the definition of faith being put in this light. With this said, I am so far away from faith that it isn't funny. When you pray do you believe that it will be answered. Or, better yet, do you believe that it will be heard. I think this is my problem with prayer. I am like, "what does it matter really". Dude, it matters so much that it isn't funny. Think about it. If you ask with belief that it will be answered or heard. If you are sure of what you hope for and certain of what we do not see, then how can we fail?
