Distorted - Part 1

Ask Anything

“Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:12-14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3:7‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/1pe.3.7.niv

“But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:6-7‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/jas.1.6-7.niv

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭5:14‬ ‭NIV‬‬
http://bible.com/111/1jn.5.14.niv

Focus: Our prayers are not always answered in the ways we think they should be.
