AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 5:14 This is the [remarkable degree of] confidence which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that if we ask anything according to His will, [that is, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us. |
Bible Question: Why don't I feel his presence in my prayers? Could I have done something wrong? |
Bible Answer: pray and continue to read the Word. Ask God to clearly show you what He would have you do, then do not tarry, hasten to do His bidding. Remember that truth is not dependent on feelings. For example, I know that the earth orbits around the sun, but it sure feels like the sun moves across the sky. In the context of faith, if God says it (i.e., it is revealed in the Canon of Scripture), that settles it. Period. I don't have to agree -- or even believe! -- to make it true, let alone "feel" it. |
