1 John 5:13-15

How do you spend time with someone in your life? Say you want to share an afternoon together with a friend, what do you do? What you do is talk to them. And during those times you talk about what matters to you and what matters to them. In the same way, this is how we spend time with God—by talking to Him about things that matter to us, and to Him. When we do this, the Bible calls this prayer. God’s Word is full of promises about prayer. And one of my favorite promises is found in our verses this morning—God has promised to hear and answer the prayers of all who belong to Him.
