if we wish to pray with confidence and gladness, then the words of Holy Scripture will have to be the solid basis of our prayer.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
and this is the confidence that we have toward Him,
that if we ask anything according to His will,
He hears us.
and if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask,
we know that we have the requests we have asked of Him.
1 John 5
