1 John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. James 4:2-3 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. What a stunning contrast between the believer walking in sweet fellowship with the Lord and the one earnestly pursuing his own pleasures and a friendship with the world. The former finds confidence through properly motivated prayer; the latter can have no confidence in his petitions, for they go un-granted. We need to be a people of prayer. But this statement presupposes a heart that is properly motivated and properly related to God.
