whatever we ask

“Hear my voice when I call, O LORD;

be merciful to me and answer me.

My heart says of you, "Seek his face!"

Your face, LORD, I will seek.

Do not hide your face from me,

do not turn your servant away in anger;

you have been my helper.

Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my Savior.”

- Psalm 27: 7-9 NIV

The enemy that we face may be of our own doing.

In such times we may feel abandoned by our Lord.

These feelings may even escalate to those of doubt.

Never stop praying, never stop trusting.

Whether the enemy is from without

or from within

…remember…

“The LORD is my light and my salvation

—whom shall I fear?

The LORD is the stronghold of my life

—of whom shall I be afraid?

- Psalm 27: 1 NIV

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God:

that if we ask anything according to his will,

he hears us.

And if we know that he hears us

—whatever we ask—

we know that we have what we asked of him.”

- 1 John 5: 14,15 NIV
