“And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.”
1 John 5:14 ESV
Have you ever asked God for something to have it only blow up in your face? Why do you think that happened? What were your motives behind the request?
Perhaps you even thought God didn’t care, but ultimately He cared to the point not to take you down a road that would lead to dire consequences.
You see He knows the outcome of every request we make and He also knows why we ask. We need to be wise in our asking and make sure that are requests are pure. We don’t want to be self seeking with ulterior gain. We need our requests to be profitable for all concerned.
Father, help us to be true to You when we come before You. Let us judge our words before speaking them so that we do not ask wrongly. Let us honor You. Keep us from going astray with meaningless endeavors. We desire to focus on truth. In Jesus name, Amen.
