1. Christians secure in their faith pray the Lord’s Will.
(13-14)
Faith will accept that God’s will is best, and it will trust his plan and purpose, even if it does not understand at the time.
James 4
Stott
Prayer is not a convenient device for imposing our will upon God, or for bending his will to ours, but the prescribed way of subordinating our will to his.
It is by prayer that we seek God’s will, embrace it and align ourselves with it.
Every true prayer is a variation of the theme “your will be done.”
Theologon
2. Christians secure in their faith know their prayers are answered.
(15)
indicates that God grants our requests immediately, even though his answer may not be immediately revealed.
As Plummer notes, “Our petitions are granted at once: the results of the granting are perceived in the future.”
The present tense “we have” (echomen), and not the future (“we will have”), indicates that God grants our requests immediately, even though his answer may not be immediately revealed.
As Plummer notes, “Our petitions are granted at once: the results of the granting are perceived in the future.”
3. Christians secure in their faith pray for others restoration
to Christ.
