“This is the confidence we have before him: If we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.”
1 John 5:14
Prayer:
Father, I’m not sure what lies the enemy tells me that keeps me from praying. I need you to expose the enemy’s lies so that I can be free to seek you in prayer with my whole heart. I want you to tear down any walls that separate me from seeking you in prayer and receiving all that you have for me.
Ask God to reveal any lies that the enemy tells you about prayer and about your relationship with God. Ask God to forgive you for believing the lies and to set you free from the lies.
Lord, thank you for your word that tells me “Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16). Thank you that I can come boldly to you in prayer, because I am your son/daughter and because of Jesus, I am holy and blameless in your sight (Ephesians 1:4). Father, help me believe what you say about me and your invitation to pray boldly at your throne of grace. In Jesus’ name, amen.
