Lesson 28: Confident Prayers (1 John 5:13-15)

Does God answer prayer? What happens if we are/are not faithful in prayer? This subject is one of the most challenging for believers to understand. For many, it is also one of the Christian disciplines that is hardest to practice. Perhaps that is because we don’t know how to answer the question, “Will it matter in any way if I do or don’t pray?” Pastor Daniel acknowledges the challenges surrounding the doctrine of prayer, but also puts forth a charge that followers of Jesus need to hear. Agreeing with John, he states, “We must pray with confidence that God will answer your prayers. Praying with confidence is the only way to live as you are called by God to live.”
