Day 2: Confidence Through Knowing God's Will
Reading: 1 John 5:14-15
14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
John 3:16-17
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Devotional: Confidence in prayer flows directly from knowing God's will. So here's the critical question: Do you know God wants people saved? John 3:16 settles this forever—God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. God is not reluctant, hesitant, or waiting to be convinced. He has already demonstrated His heart through the cross. The problem is never God's willingness; it's our cooperation. When we pray according to His will for salvation, we can have absolute confidence He hears us. Stop approaching evangelism as though you're twisting God's arm. He cares more about the lost than you ever could. Your role isn't to convince God to move—He's already moved. Your role is to align with what He's already doing and join Him in the harvest.
Reflection Question: How does knowing God's heart for the lost change my approach to sharing the gospel?
