Can We Pray Without Any Doubt Regarding the Purpose of God? If God be for Us, Who can be Against Us?
"...Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he [says] shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he [says]."-- Mark 11:23
The Scriptures tell us that we can pray without a doubt concerning the purpose of God. Then what is God's eternal purpose? God's plan is; in Christ to save all people from all sin on the condition that we repent of our sin and believe in Jesus Christ. Christ has faith in His own ability to complete our Father's purpose by re-establishing us, the fallen people, to the original and moral image of God. What will prevent Him from satisfying His eternal purpose as described in the divine plan of salvation? Nothing! Again I say there is not the remotest possibility that His faultless plan of redemption can fail. We are guaranteed in the Holy Bible that the gates of hell will not prevail against Christ's indestructible church, paid for by His blood, gifted, and endued by His Holy Spirit.

Maybe this is what Paul's endless challenge to the Roman Church was when he said these words.
"What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?" -- Romans 8:31.
Once we have a proper understanding of this concept of God's unchallengeable plan as shown in His Word, it will be easy to pray without any doubt what so ever in our hearts. Again let us look at our Savior's words, "...And shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he [says] shall come to pass..." For clarity, let us highlight the words, "... Shall come to pass... When will these things that we say and ask in our prayers happen? When may we realistically expect every prayer to be answered?
The things we have said in prayer will come to pass when everything that has been spoken by our Lord will come to pass. At the moment that God's plan of salvation has been completed, and then all things spoken by His Son Jesus, and everything spoken by the mouth of His holy prophets, and all the things ever spoken in the prayers of His faithful people will come to pass. In the "fullness of time" God sent His Son for our redemption, the same is true for the things that we say and ask for in our prayers, at the right time and in our Father's time.
The Scriptures verify that God's purpose is to save everyone completely that come to Him through Christ Jesus. This is the only way to God, which is through Jesus. God's greatest ability was required to save us from the massive total of our sin. To be saved to the uttermost according to the purpose of Christ, means to be set free from all sin in this current life here on earth. Also it means to have the freedom from the effects of sin in our body and mind in the life to come.
Can we pray without a doubt in our hearts concerning a complete liberation from sin in this present life? And will it happen? Absolutely! But we must be patient and wait until Christ's last victory over sin and death before we can be set free from the consequences of sin here on earth. However, we can pray without any doubt in our hearts about our last freedom, and it will happen according to the purpose of God.
When Christ has satisfied His eternal plan in the redemption of His people, then, and only then will the mountain of human misery and affliction be removed from this earth. When we see this truth as shown in the Holy Bible, we can know that every prayer presented without a doubt in our hearts will for sure be answered in full.
Without Christ's authority the things we say in prayer are powerless and meaningless. But if the things we say in our prayers are the things that He has said in His Word, then we can pray without any doubt in our hearts whatsoever.
