… he hears us. And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of him. That's our foundational verse. It is telling us that we can confidently and boldly go to God and talk to him and lay our burdens before the Lord and depend on him knowing that God will answer our prayers.

You've seen God make a way out of no way. You've seen God make something happen that you thought would never happen in the course of your life. You know God has the capacity and the ability to do it.

… And if we pray according to his will, we know that he hears us. He did indeed promise and loves to do what he said he was going to do.

We know that whoever is born of God does not sin, but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. …
