I John 3:22-23 NKJV And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

All of us want our prayers answered. God guarantees that our prayers will be answered.  Our prayers aren’t answered because we’re good. Our prayers are answered because we believe on the name of Jesus and love one another.

BELIEVE
When we believe, it shouldn’t be short-lived. No matter how long it takes, from the moment we’ve prayed, we must believe God heard us and we have what we asked of Him (1 John 5:15).

When we make our requests, using the name of Jesus, we should have so much confidence in that name until we know our requests will come to pass. Using that name in prayer is like Jesus Himself is praying to the Father. Did Jesus get all His prayers answered? Yes. And we should believe our prayers will come to pass too.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER
It does us no good if we have all this faith in the name of Jesus, but not walking in love. Galatians 5:6 says faith works by love. Faith to get our prayers answered won’t work unless we love. So, if we’re harboring hate in our hearts for someone or we’re walking around hating those around us, our faith won’t work.

We must make the decision to love EVERYONE despite what they’ve done. The decision to love could be the only thing standing between us and our answered prayers.

Let’s maintain our belief and walk in love, then we can be confident knowing our prayers will be answered.
