If we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears whatever we ask, we know that we have what we have asked of him. —1 John 5:14–15
One of the sweetest fruits of prayer is a deeper understanding of God’s will. As we talk to God in prayer and listen to Him speak to us through our Bibles, we grow more like Him. His thoughts become our thoughts. His will becomes our will.
The closer we draw to God, the more we know what He would have us to pray. We begin to ask for the things God wants most to give us. Our prayers become less of “This is what I want,” and more of “God, I want what You want for me.” We’re able to say with confidence, “I believe You know what I need, what experiences I must go through to grow my faith and refine my character, and how I should spend my life. If You don’t want me to have it, I don’t want it. If You do, I welcome it with faith and trust.”
