This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 1 John 5:14
Sometimes, I have a distorted view of God - a distorted view of myself. He is not a puppet who responds to the tug of a string as some would like to believe.
The Apostle John stated that we can have anything for which we ask. Doesn't this seem to make me the one in charge? Like I can control my destiny by simply asking for it? By tugging a string?
There is a key to getting the things I want. Four simple words: "according to His will." His will is what I must understand.
Father, I don't even know what to want. Do I really know Your will? The only way I can know it is if You reveal it to me. Give me eyes to see. Help me to walk in a supernatural confidence. Help me to know Your plan, so I can ask and receive.
Spirit, will you take charge today?
