John 5:14 – Promise of Attention

Listen to an audio version of this

Context

In John 5, Jesus heals a man who had been disabled for 38 years, emphasizing His authority as the Son of God and the power of faith in Him.

 

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us.
 ––John 5:14 KJV

How to read it

This verse is like a spiritual confidence booster. It tells us that when we chat with God, we should be bold and trust he’s listening, as long as what we’re asking vibes with his plans. Just think of it like connecting with your best friend through a text, only better because God is always online and ready to listen. So, whenever you’re sending up those prayer emojis, remember God’s got your back, 24/7!

Let’s pray

Heavenly Father,
thank you for the promise that you hear us when we pray. Help us to understand and seek Your will in all that we do. Give us the confidence to approach you with boldness and faith. We ask that you guide our hearts and minds to think and act according to Your purpose.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
