Being Confident That God Hears Our Prayers

Being Confident That God Hears Our Prayers

In 1 John chapter 5 verses 14 to 15, the beloved apostle gives us a real gem when it comes to how we think about prayer. Here’s what John wrote: “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, 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 the petitions that we have asked of Him.” One of the common barriers to a consistent, joyful prayer life is the nagging thought that God isn’t really listening. To overcome this, pray God’s will, which practically means praying the Scriptures. Praying God’s Word, you will experience God’s answers, and the joy that comes knowing He hears and answers when you talk to Him. Now that’s something to pray about!
