It Will be Yours
What a promise for
our prayers! “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received
it, and it will be yours.” But one thing to consider: who is Jesus talking to?
Everyone? No. Jesus was talking to his disciples.
Who or what is a
disciple? A disciple is a follower of Jesus who denies his own desire, wants,
and comforts and follows Jesus absolutely without question. So Jesus’ promise
here is not for any and all people to claim; it is strictly for his disciples,
those who deny their own way of life and follow Jesus. As a result, a
disciple’s use of prayer is not one of selfish ambition to fulfill his own
desires but one that is used to glorify God and further His Name.
