eyeInspire: Pray Confidently

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)

How many times have you prayed for something? How many of those times have you wondered why those prayers went unanswered? It's not that your prayers are every unanswered, but what happens is that God will answer prayers in unexpected ways. What the Bible talks about in 1 John 5:14 is the confidence we have in approaching God. How confident are you that God can make any and everything happen? Do you trust that God will come through for you? Sometimes we don't and that is why we don't get the answer we want when we pray.

If you are truly seeking God and his will for your life, you have to have faith! Faith isn't just saying you believe, but showing God that you trust him wholeheartedly. That's the confidence he's talking about. Think about the confidence that you have in your parents, that they will always be able to provide for you no matter what. Do you realize that sometimes they struggle, but always pull through for you? It didn't happen for them on their own strength, but by God's grace and mercy and the faith that they have in Him. If you truly trust and believe, lay all your cares and worries on him and watch him work. The next time you pray, eyeInspire you to pray in faith and in confidence.
