¹⁴ This is the confidence we have before him: If we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. (1 John 5:14 CSB)

It may not always seem like God hears us.

This is because we are expecting a specific type of outcome, to happen a specific way.

God rarely works like that. God needs us to realize that His provision is exactly perfect for us. How He does this is through making sure that only by His provision our prayers are answered.

If we run forward and solve every problem ourselves, at least those we can, there is no room for God to work. He really wants us to allow Him room to work.

Slow down a bit and watch what God will do for you. Just do not expect it to come the way you think it might.
