1 John 5
I have previously posted on these verses here. A corollary to this post is that we cannot expect to have what is not God's will. While we have free will, it is God's will we should be seeking. If we don't have what we want we should examine both what we DO have and our wants.
May [the Lord] give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. Psalm 20:4
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are a great God and You know what is best for me. You have corrected me, trained me, and You are full of compassion and mercy for me even when I fail to please You - which I know is often. Thank You Jesus but please forgive me and help me turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself strength and wisdom. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of her chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
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. v14-15
