Another thing we can be thankful for is that when we pray God hears us. Verses 14 and 15 says that we have a confidence in God, that if we ask anything that is in His will, we will receive what we ask for. The only condition is that what we are asking for has to be within the will of God. He has to be something that He knows is what we need.
God doesn’t always give us what we ask for because not all we ask for is good for us. God knows our future and therefore He knows exactly what we need. Sometimes we may have to wait for awhile to get what we prayed for because God knows when the time is right. All He asks is that we trust Him.
So remember, when you are praying for something, allow God to answer in His time, in His way. And never forget to thank Him for the hope that you have of one day spending eternity with Him. What a mighty, mighty God we serve. Truly He is indeed worthy of all praise.
