"Keep Praying"

Page 29

"If you ask anything in My name, I will do it." (John 14:14 NKJV) 

This simple, yet powerful verse sometimes seems too simple to accept. In this chapter, Jesus was teaching His disciples, followers of Jesus, imperfect people, just as we are imperfect people. ……

Jesus goes straight to the heart of the prayer and what is really needed. Sometimes, you may pray about a very serious need in your life and think you know just what will satisfy that need. You look back later and see that He knew what was needed; He answered your prayer, though maybe not according to the way you thought. Other times, you may pray a very detailed prayer about what you desire, look back years later and see those details in reality. …

The next thing Jesus said was, “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15 NKJV).  Will you do it?
