TOPIC: PRAYING TO GET ANSWERS (Part 3)

TEXT: “If we ask anything according to His will He hears us” (1John 5:14)

God wants to answer our prayers, but they must be prayers prayed according to His will. We cannot have faith outside the will of God and neither can we pray with the expectation to get answers if those things we are asking for are not promised in His word.

 The Holy Scripture says ‘Now this is the confidence we have in approaching Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us and…we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him(1John 5:14,15). One of the ways we can be sure we are asking according to His word is to ask according to His word. Use a passage or a principle from scripture to back up what you are praying, for God said ‘I will hasten my word to perform it’ (Jer.1:12).

Sometimes there are things we want to pray for but we aren’t sure whether those things are God’s will for us according to scriptures. In this case we simply need to ask God to give it to us if it’s His will to do so. And to let us be satisfied with His decision. St. Augustine said, ‘O LORD grant that I may do thy will as if it were mine; so that thou mayest do my will as though it were thine’. D.L Moody said ‘spread ot your petition before God and then say ‘let thine will not mine be done’. One of the sweetest lessons I have learnt in the school of the Spirit is letting God chose for me

When we pray in harmony with God, we will have what we ask for. We may have to wait because God’s timing is part of His will, regardless of our waiting time if we keep believing and expecting, our answers will come. We can say ‘I may not see it yet but God has promised it to me, so it’s on its way. And if God doesn’t give us what we ask for, He will give us something better, if we keep walking in faith and keep an attitude of joy.
