God Hears Us

How cool that God hears us!

The only rub in these two verses is the phrase, "if we ask anything according to his will."

This may be the point where many people lose their faith.

God hears everything, but he only grants me requests that are according to his will. Often I dislike this limitation.

But it's no different than how my wife and I say "No" to our children. They ask for things that aren't good for them. "I want more candy!"

How often to I ask God for "more candy?" How often do you, dear Reader?
