Motives matter


“And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.” – James 4: 3
“And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him.” - 1 John 3: 22
GOD wants to answer your prayers. Every answered prayer is a miracle that strengthens our faith. The Bible is awash with God’s marvellous promises to answer our prayers and He’s really wants to. So why do we sometimes ask and not receive? Read the scriptures above and then check your own motives. Which one applies? Are you seeking self-gratification, or do you really believe in miracles? His Word says we will ask and receive if we live lives of faith and obedience - whatever our circumstances. Faith is the way.
