As we read verses in the Bible where Jesus Himself tells us that we can ask for anything in His name and we will receive it, deep down we sense that there's more to it than that. We read that we must also be asking and praying these prayers within God's will. God is not a magic genie for us to impress our desires upon to get whatever we want. So how do we begin to pray within the will of God? Tune into this episode as we dive in deeper to explore just that... praying within God's will and then learning more how to walk in confidence that God hears our prayers and answers them, even when those answers don't look like what we had imagined or come as fast as we had hoped. If the deepest desire of your heart is a prayer you've offered up to God for years, be encouraged; God is listening. Often times, within our prayers, He's actually at work in us, shaping the one who offers the prayer.
