In this sermon, we studied 1 John 5:13-15, which reminds us that God desires a deep relationship with His children, inviting us to abide in Him daily through prayer. Prayer is more than just asking for things; it is a way to express our hearts, longings, and trust in Him. In this passage, the Apostle John writes to assure believers that they can confidently approach God in prayer, knowing He hears them when they ask according to His will. This confidence isn't based on receiving everything we ask for but on knowing that God listens, cares, and responds in ways that align with what is ultimately best for us. Prayer invites us to bring our longings before God, trusting that even when His answers don't match our desires, they are always for our good.
