CONFIDENT PRAYER
It's nice when we can be confident. We like it when we can be confident in our
ability to perform a task, or in the reliability of someone else or a
product. Of course, when we have faith
in Christ,
we can be confident of eternal life (1
John
God wants us to be confident when we pray. Our text gives us the details of confident
prayer.

confidence that we have in him..."
When we pray, we are to come in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ (John
THE
The opportunity is to ask in confidence according to
the will of God.
If we want to know what to pray for, we should search
the Scriptures and find God's will. We
will know God's will for ourselves, our friends, the unsaved, and the world as
we study His Word. Then we can pray accordingly. If we do not know the will of
God, we should ask for God to reveal it to us. (James 1:5-8)
THE OUTLOOK OF CONFIDENT PRAYER - Vs. 15
We know that we have what we ask for when we pray
according to the will of God.
