1 John 3:21-22 "Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from Him anything we ask, because we obey His commands and do what pleases Him."
Precious Lord and Savior, thank You for giving me Your Holy Spirit who convicts me of sin as I am truly Yours by my second birth. Romans 8:1 says, "Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." Then 8:5b says, "but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their mind set on what the Spirit desires." Therefore; because I am Your child and live by the Spirit, I desire what the Spirit desires, and can come boldly before the throne of grace and ask for anything and You will give it.
However; James in 4:2b-3 says that I may have not because I ask not because I ask with the wrong motive to spend what I receive on my own pleasures.
So; if I am Yours, am walking in the Spirit, am asking with the right motives, obey Your commands and do what pleases You, You will give what I ask according to Your will. Thank You, Lord, not only for this clarification, but also for this amazing promise!
