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
Abba Father, your graciousness and incomprehensible goodness, your compassion towards mankind and your great faithfulness and unfailing promises are imprinted on our minds and hearts. For we have, at various suffering moments in our lives, been the recipients of your grace and mercy, when we have sought them from you with every fibre of our being. In loyal submission and utter humility, Lord, we comply with your Holy Will and your Holy Word.
We are certain, with the firmest faith, of receiving spiritual favors which redirect our entire lives and purify our hearts and our senses. For all things which we seek with repentant hearts and in total compliance with your Holy Will, you will never refuse, especially if they are faith building and transforming blessings which accomplish your covenant of love and establish Christian fellowship among your chosen elect.
We are sure that in seeking the kingdom and your righteousness, other things, that you know to be needful and useful, shall be added unto us. He who gives grace and glory, will not withhold any good thing from all who walk uprightly. And we know that you hear us, even before we ask, for faith anticipates the blessings, and is certain they will be granted, in answer to our fervent prayers, made in Jesus’ Name. Amen
