Yep.
I'm sure it's been quoted here already but 1 John 5:
14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to
his will, he heareth us:
15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
I get caught feeling like my will is Gods will and I know the best resolution and can't grasp why God doesn't see that too. But I know God is always good and always right and I am not. So somewhere I am missing something but God sees it all.
The Greek meaning of our words can sometimes have more than one meaning, and a different meaning than what we think it implies. For instance, John 15:7. This one will also help you understand 1 John 5:14-15.
John 15:7
7 If you abide in Me, and My
words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
The English word, "word" can either be logos (like the whole written word), or
RHEMA, the specific personal spoken word.
Rhema is this word. That means that you need to wait and hear God speak to you, then you repeat what He said in prayer, and it comes to pass. Sometimes miraculously. His sheep hear My voice.
I've seen many, many miracles, but for me it is always God doing them, and I just share what He's done. Even my prayers. My heart is generally filled with praise. I don't really pray until He tells me what to pray. I hope that doesn't seem disobedient. But, when He tells me what to pray, I do, and it comes to pass immediately. It is the only way I know of to pray God's will, except through prayer language. I remember once when I was traveling alone between Illinois and Arizona and had been having car trouble off and on for months, a strange grinding noise, but my mechanic could never find it as it never happened when he test drove my van. I was going uphill 30 miles outside Oklahoma City, on Interstate 40, and all of a sudden there was that grinding sound coming from the underneath of my vehicle, now louder than ever! I could feel the vibrations with my feet. Instantly God whispered to pray John 15:7. "If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you may ask what you will and it will be done for you." Ask for a "Ford dealership." So I prayed, Lord I am abiding in You, and Your words do abide in me so I ask for a Ford dealership right now! Just after I crested the hill, there was an off ramp, and a Ford dealership at the bottom of it, out in the middle of nowhere.
