Daily Walk Through the New Testament
March 2
Read 1 John 4:17-5:21

As a Christian, you can boldly pray to God and be confident He will hear you when you pray according to His will (5:14). So how do you know God’s will? You can know most of it by reading the Bible and listening to the Holy Spirit. In God’s Word He has given you actions and attitudes to emulate. Take the commands and promises of God and pray them back to Him, and live your life according to them.
What about those particular situations in life that the Bible does not specifically address? With that same confidence, go to God in prayer with your requests and ask that His will be done. Acknowledge that you are sinful and limited in knowledge, and tell God you trust His sovereignty. Know that God hears your prayer, and whatever His answer is, it will be the best for you and will bring the most glory to God and His kingdom.
