Today’s Promise

God Listens to My Prayers

1 John 5:14-15

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.


God Hears Your Prayer

What a promise! We can know that when we pray, God is going to hear our 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, hope He answers, hope we are praying correctly.

God invites you to come boldly into His presence and make your request to Him. You can pray in confidence because of your intimate 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 strong in asking for the things He has promised.

Absolute Confidence

Jesus had absolute confidence that God heard His prayers. Because you are His follower, you can have that same confidence. 

God hearing your prayer is more than God just acknowledging your request. You know that when God hears your prayer; He answers. It is like the King who hears 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 again.

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

Confess this With me

  • 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

You can approach God in prayer with confidence knowing He will hear and answer your prayer.

Because of the major winter storm that has hit us here in Texas, we are delaying the launch of our partner ministry. Although I haven’t lost power, I haven’t had internet access. If you have lost power during this storm, please know I am praying for you. If you are in another part of the country that hasn’t been affected by this winter storm, please pray for those without heat and power.

Can you name a time when God specifically answered your prayer?  Share in the comments below.

    I prayed for 7 years to have a baby. Did 10 rounds of IVF and with a failing marriage I prayed and asked God for a chance to save my marriage by giving me a baby. He answered my prayer. I gave birth to the replica of my husband they look like identical twins in all pictures at the appropriate ages my husband walked out when our baby was 3 years old. Despite me praying earnestly. I now realize that not everything is his will. He answers me according to HIS will. So happy for my son. He is a living testimony that God hears and answers prayers.

    God answers prayer! It may not always be what we want but it is always answered. Through the blood of Jesus i am thankful I can boldly approach the Father with my requests. Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice on the cross and giving me eternal life. I just experienced an answer to a specific prayer my wife and i have been praying about. Praise his holy name!
