Today’s Promise
February 13, 2025
God Hears and Answers Your Prayers
This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.
1 John 5:14-15
God Hears and Answers
When you pray, you release the power of heaven into the world around you. When you pray according to God’s will, you have the confidence that your prayer is heard and answered by your Heavenly Father.
What a promise! You can know that when you pray, God hears your prayer.
Few of us would say we pray with that kind of confidence. For many of us, prayer is difficult and even challenging. So often, we come to God with hope instead of faith. We hope He hears; we hope He answers, and we hope we are praying correctly.
Come Boldly Into His Presence
God invites you to come boldly into His presence and bring your request to Him. You can pray in confidence because of your relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. It is not about how good you are but about all Christ has done for you. Because of your faith in Christ, you can take God’s word seriously and stand firm in asking for the things He has promised.
Jesus had absolute confidence that God heard His prayers. Because you are His follower, you can have that same confidence.
When God hears your prayer, it is more than God just acknowledging your request. You know that when God hears your prayer, He answers. It is like the King who listens to the request of his servant and responds. When God hears your prayer, He answers your prayer.
You have the full assurance that as you bring your requests to the Lord, He not only hears your prayer but answers as well.
Let’s look at that promise one more time.
This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. – 1 John 5:14-15
Make these confessions.
- God invites me to come boldly into His presence.
- I confidently bring my request to God.
- As I pray according to His will, I know He answers.
- I know God answers my prayer.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen
Through Christ, you can approach God in prayer with confidence, knowing He will answer your prayer.

I Want My Copy
He has kept me alive for more than two years following a stage 4 cancer diagnosis.
I prayed that God would place many believing Christians in positions of authority and responsibility in our government, and He did.
We are in the middle of a move and I have been having anxious and overwhelming feelings. A friend met me in the parking who is also going through some of the same feelings for different reason. We stood outside and prayed together about our feelings and situation asking God to fill us with peace and help us during this journey. We both left after that moment feeling relief of any negative feelings. We shared feelings of gratitude and peace. So thankful for friends who pray with us and through our journey..
Amen Mary!There is power in praying together with friends. God Bless you,and thanks for sharing 🙂
Yhank you god for answering my prayers
