Having Confidence In Prayer
Apostle John desires his spiritual
children enjoy close fellowship
with God and writes telling them
how: God is Light and to engage in
fellowship with Him means walking
in the light of His commandments.
God is Love, and thus His children
must walk in love. God is Life, and
those who desire fellowship with
Him must possess the spiritual life,
which begins with spiritual birth.
Lord, we will Ask Along Your Will:
He who has the Son has life…
These things I have written to you
who believe in the name of the Son
of God, that you may Know that you
have eternal life, and that you may
continue to believe (1Jn 5:12-13).
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 (1Jn 5:14-15).
We know that God’s children do not
make a practice of sinning, for God’s
Son Holds them securely, and the
evil one cannot touch them (v18).
Father, thanks for promising eternal
life to those who believe in Your Son.
Apostle John wrote these words
so that we could know that
we have eternal life – not hope
that we have it, but Know It.
We can trust Your solid promise of
an abundant life that begins now.
And we look forward to being with
You forever. In His name, Amen.
Father, it gives me Confidence
to know that if I ask according
to Your will, You will hear me
and I will have what I ask for.
So I come to You as Your beloved
child and ask You to help me pray
according to Your will. And I know
I will receive good things from You
because You love me. In His name.
Lord, we experience difficulties as
everyone else and Christians may be
targeted because they are believers.
And it is a relief that You are Lord
over the evil one. All who belong
to You are eternally safe; and all who
opposed U are completely defeated.
For You had purchased us with
Your blood, You take us to Yourself,
and You’ll Hold us securely. Amen.
