So many times we ask God amiss and we receive no answer to our prayers because our hearts are not aligned with His. John provides important keys to teach us how to pray effectively. As we learn how to pray biblically, one of the things we learn is to develop a deep trust in the Lord's provision in our prayers. As we get rid of our selfishness when we enter His throne of grace and align ourselves with His nature and character when we ask Him for something, God will provide us with the wisdom to learn how to ask in a way that glorifies the Lord.  So open up your Bibles to 1st John Chapter 5 verses 14-15 and learn how to ask God's way.
