Concluding Affirmations
13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
Prayer that is productive is knowing that you are praying according to the will of God. God’s will is revealed in the Bible. When you hear what God has to say, you grow in your faith with him. He answers prayer.
