Praying With Assurance: Keys to Profit and Progressಮಾದರಿ

THE POWER OF ASKING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL (2)

The confidence of prayer rests not in how long you pray, but in whether your request aligns with God’s will. 1 John 5:14–15 says, “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.” The will of God is the boundary line of effective prayer. When you pray outside His will, you are wasting energy. The devil doesn’t fear long prayers—he fears Word-based prayers. If you want to see results, locate what God has said, and tie your request to it.

Prayer without the Word is like shooting arrows in the dark—you may shout, but you won’t hit anything. Many believers use prayer as a vent for emotions rather than a channel for divine transactions. Heaven responds to covenant terms, not sentiments. If you want answers, find the scriptures that cover your case. Is it healing? Quote His Word. Is it a provision? Stand on His promises. Is it guidance? Lean on His voice in Scripture. The will of God is not a mystery to be guessed at; it is revealed in His Word.

Beloved, stop wasting bullets of prayer on targets God never set up. Pray according to His will, and you will enjoy confidence and results. Begin by filling yourself with the Word daily—memorise it, meditate on it, confess it. As you do, your desires will begin to align with His. Prayer is not forcing God to bless your will; it is submitting your will to His. The greatest prayers are not “Lord, give me,” but “Lord, let Your will be done in my life.” When you pray this way, you will see prayers answered quickly, because heaven always honours its own terms. Today, commit to aligning every request with His will, and watch the doors of heaven swing open over you.

THOUGHT TO PONDER:
How much of the Word abides in me to shape what I ask for?

PRAYER:
Lord, align my desires with Your will. Let every request I make spring from Your Word so my prayers carry confidence and command results. Amen.
