I am so glad that He knows better than I do what I really need and what my heart truly desires. And I find comfort in the Scripture passage found in 1 John 4:14-15, which says, "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him." So basically, I am totally assured when I pray. If it is not His will, He will let it fall away. If it is His will, He hears me and will answer. As God's child, I can't lose! I have often looked back on my life and given thanks to God for the prayers that He DIDN’T answer!
