  3. Walking Daily as a Child of God CONFIDENCE IN PRAYER • Defining Confident Prayer 1 Jn 5:14-15 • What is not taught in these verses • A promise to get anything (a blank check) • Ignores the context • Prayer has never been intended for such selfish use 1 Kings 3:6-14

  4. Walking Daily as a Child of God CONFIDENCE IN PRAYER • Defining Confident Prayer 1 Jn 5:14-15 • What is taught in these verses • “…ask anything according to His will” Mk 14:36 • Implies one must know His will to ask • The desires we express in our petitions must equal our Father’s will for us • Our Father hears, grants such requests CONFIDENCE !!

  5. Walking Daily as a Child of God CONFIDENCE IN PRAYER • Demonstrating Confident Prayer • When facing a big decision Lk 6:12-13 • When facing a huge crisis Neh 2:1-4 • Nehemiah’s earlier prayer 1:4-11 • When facing temptation Matt 26:41

  6. Walking Daily as a Child of God CONFIDENCE IN PRAYER • Describing Confident Prayer • It must be persistent Lk 18:1-8 11:5-13 1 Pet 5:7 • It must be offered in humility Lk 18:9-14 • Boasting vs. Begging • It must become a “custom” Dan 6:10 1:8 • Especially when we struggle Rom 8:26-28

  7. Walking Daily as a Child of God CONFIDENCE IN PRAYER • Conclusion • Think back to our opening illustration… does our study cause us to think about approaching our Father in “confidence?” • Prayer doesn’t establish a relationship… it evidences a relationship already exists Acts 2 vs. Acts 8

  8. Walking Daily as a Child of God CONFIDENCE IN PRAYER • Conclusion • In some ways the young are limited in what they can do in the kingdom Titus 2 • But not in this area…because you have life in the Son of God, you can PRAY and do so with “CONFIDENCE” 1 Jn 5:14 Heb 4:16
