Prayer

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
John 15:7

Prayer
In today's Bible verse, the Lord Jesus gives two conditions for our prayers to be answered:

1. "If you abide in Me ..." By this He means a life of conscious and constant dependence on Him. It is about maintaining regular prayer contact with Him and asking Him what He wants from us. This closeness to the Lord Jesus in everyday life requires that we judge ourselves so that our relationship with Him is not clouded by sin.

If we stay close to the Lord and live in dependence on Him, He will shape our thoughts and affections. As a result, we will pray according to His mind. Such prayers that are according to the will of the Lord Jesus, God will answer.

2. "If My words abide in you ..." The words of the Lord Jesus are found in the Bible. By reading or listening to the Word of God, we learn what He has to say to us. But this is not enough. Our Lord also asks us to affirm His words, to take them into our hearts and to follow them in our lives.

When the Word of God abides in us in this way, it influences our thinking, speaking and behaviour. The effect of this is that our requests are in line with God's will and He hears them.

Today's reading: Numbers 33:1-37, Matthew 17:9-13

Today God is calling you (3)

I have prayed for you, that your faith will not fail.' Luke 22:32 NASB

God wants you to do His will, but you'll never reach the place of spiritual maturity in which you're free of Satan. You can overcome him, but you can't eliminate him. Look at Peter. He had only one gear: overdrive. He was always...More
