And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. — 1 John 5:14-15 KJV
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. — 1 John 5:14-15 NIV
Bible Verse Reflection
Confidence before God is somewhat of an ironic expression if you reflect upon it. However through the presence of Jesus at the Father’s right hand and the mediation of the Holy Spirit, we can have confidence and come boldly before the Creator of the universe and realize that He hears us, yet also cares on us. And amazingly He also ACTS on what we inquire and ask of Him.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your grace that through Jesus, we can come confidently into Your presence. Teach me to grow in my prayer life that I may become a prayer warrior for Your glory. In Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen.
