But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!—John 15:7 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Help me to remain in You and to allow Your words to remain in me—so that those things that I want, would be the very things that You want.
Help me to focus on the “if”
in this promise, so that I will remain continually, vitally, and necessarily
joined to You—abiding with You—as if my life depended on it, because in fact, it does!
Help me hold Your words
captive in my heart—help me to rely on them, continually contemplate them, use
them as my strict standard for that which I do, graciously grow by them,
carefully cling to them for my hope, and evermore establish them as the Truth
in my life.
I know that in as much as
I am truly able to do this, not only will my thoughts, words and actions be in
harmony with Your plans and purposes for my life, but every desire of my heart and every request that I make will be
conformed to Your will.
Help me to remain in You and to allow Your words to remain in me—so that those things that I want, would be the very things that You want.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
