Confidence in Prayer by Ed Young

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

The Bible not only has answers for life, but also tells us step-by-step how we can get even more out of life. God takes an interest in you as a person and is standing by, ready to hear your prayers, if they are the right ones.

How can you be confident that you're praying the right prayers? You have to know God well enough to know what he would ask for. Prayer isn't asking for what you want. It's putting yourself in a position to want what God wants. And that happens as you begin to know God better. As you get to know him better, you will be given the wisdom to know how to pray according to what he wants you to have.

Be confident in knowing that God hears your prayers. Rather than worrying if he hears you, work on getting to know him better. Show interest in who he is. Read his Word. Continue to pray. Because as you do, you will discover that God has more blessings for you than you could ever imagine
