What We Ask of Him

1 John 5:14-15“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.” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com. Copyright (C) . All Rights Reserved.

This passage so often is taken out of context and twisted to say that whatever we ask of God in confidence we will be given. Missing one large part though, “according to HIS WILL”. Here’s a cool thought, the more we seek God and dig into Him, the more our hearts will be aligned with His and want what He wants, and therefore what we ask WILL (for the most part) be according to His will and will come to pass. Mind you it may look different than expected, but one of the coolest things about God, is that He’s God…His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts.
