This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us — whatever we ask — we know that we have what we asked of him.
—1 John 5:14-15
These wonderful verses were the "verse of the day" today. And there was some wonderful promises included in them. First, because of the saving grace through Jesus Christ, we have confidence in approaching God. We do not need be afraid but boldly go to Our Father in prayer. We can lift up our voices to Him.
And He hears us. This is one of the wonderful mysteries of our faith. Our God, the creator of the universe, takes time and is able to hear our still small voice among the cacophany of voices and listen to us. And when he hears, He delivers But there is one small caveat. If we ask anything ACCORDING TO HIS WILL
That's the part many of us forget. We can ask for anything. We can pray for anything. But it only is delivered if it is "Gods will". So we can have confidence our God hears out voice. We can have faith that He will deliver. But we must always continue to seek Him and find His will for us.
Continue in prayer and contemplation with our Lord. He does and will answer prayer.
Peace and continued blessings.
