Let Your Life Count Chapter 4

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: That if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us whatever we ask---we know that we have what we asked of him. 1 John 5:14-15

*** GOD HAS THE REAL PRAYER LIST ***

Have you ever felt prompted or burdened to pray?

God actively seeks prayer partners. When He wants to intervene in human affairs, His eyes range throughout all the earth searching for someone who will intercede, thereby inviting Him to act.

God told us to pray because our prayers are essential.
