It’s not our amazing ability or skill at prayer that has the power, it’s God who has all the power and authority. Our faith in Him is what gives us the ability to pray effectively to Him because we believe
- that He can do what He says He can do
- that He will do what He says He will do
- that He is the King of the Universe
- that His love for us is without measure
“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
We also know that the “according to His will” part is key. A wise disciple asks about His will, purposes and plans a lot as they seek the Lord because they know He is not a genie in a bottle. He is a perfect Father. “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
