Does God grant all our wishes?
God, through His Word, leaves us a great reminder.
God, through His Word, leaves us a great reminder. God is not a distant person who forgets or ignores our prayers; God is the opposite. We trust in Him, and this gives us great security, but we must always keep in mind one key detail: according to His will.
We can fall into thinking that God can grant us anything we ask for, as if He were the genie in a bottle. We ask for whatever comes to mind, even if it's harmful to us, and we believe God has to respond. But we must understand and be clear that we must ask according to His purposes, aligned with what God wants for us. And that is when His promise is fulfilled: "He hears us."
If we do not go out to God and be aligned with what He desires for us, we must rest and be calm that He hears us, and if so, rest assured that He is doing something.
14 And this is the confidence we have in Him: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
1 John 5:14
