If your son asked for bread, you wouldn't give him a stone. But what if he asks for a rock to eat? Are we praying for things that would ultimately hurt us? That's the thought behind my opening question. When Jesus promises, "Ask, and you'll receive," there are some boundaries to that grant. "Terms and conditions may apply," as they say! The qualifications for answered prayer are mentioned right there in the Gospel of John. Let's listen as Jim outlines 5 "checkpoints" for these promises.
