And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He hears us.
If God was not trustworthy it would be hard to have confidence in Him, but He is! We can be confident that He hears us, dearly beloved. “The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry.” He is attentive to our cries for His help.
“The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.” He not only hears our cries, He delivers us out of ALL our afflictions; we have His Word on it. We can rely on Him, dearly beloved.
Through Christ we have access to the Father by the spirit we received when we were born again. Our Father exhorts us to use it with boldness and confidence, so go to Him.
