I John 5:14,15

I John 5:14,15 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. God has given us a promise: if we come to Him in Jesus’ name, He will hear us. And our verses say that if He hears us, He will do something about it. But remember, we have to ask according to Jesus’ will. We know that if we ask according to Jesus’ will, God the Father will hear and answer. But remember, God can answer in one of three ways: He can say, “Yes”, He can say “No”, or He can say, “Wait”. The word petition means an official request to do something. We know that God hears and answers prayers. And the best part is that He loves us and will only give us what is best for us. If we ask and don’t receive, God may be saying “No, that request isn’t good for you.” Or God may be saying, “No, not now. I just want you to wait a while”. Both of these are answers from God. They may not be the ones that we want, but they are the ones that we need. God will only give us what is best. That is because He loves us so much.
