Do you realize that your prayers come with a Promise? Most christians do not realize the power they possess through prayer. John 14:13-14, "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it." Here the promise of our asking is clear from our Heavenly Father. Anything we ask of God in the name of His Son Jesus, He will do. At our fingertips, we hold a precious promise that as children of the King, we can have the petitions we ask for.
What amazing confidence we can stand in each day when we humble ourselves to pray. We can stand completely certain that we will have answers to the petitions on our heart. When we practice the discipline of the spiritual life by reading the Word and praying to cultivate a close relationship with Christ, we can pray with great faith that God is on the throne and He cares about everything that concerns us. So Ask. Do not live beneath your privileges, But Ask. And then, thank God for Answers and ask again. Ask and keep asking. Trust and keep trusting. Remember the promise is for you.
