“Our gracious God and heavily Father searches our hearts to see what we need, and then he delights to answer the need out of his inexhaustible storehouse of blessings.“
– James Montgomery Boyce
“If we earthly parents, with all our brokenness, still gave our kids, good gifts, won’t our heavenly Father do even more? Our kids request, no matter how trivial, tug at our heart. God feels the same … God wants to give us good gifts. He loves to give.
‘Asking in Jesus’ name’ isn’t it another thing I have to get right so my prayers are perfect. It is one more gift of God because my prayers are so imperfect … {In prayer. It is as if} you are ushered into the place and down a long hallway into the throne room of the great king, who comes running to you and wraps you in his arms.“
– Paul E. Miller
Come, my soul, thy suit prepare;
Jesus loves to answer prayer;
He himself has bid thee prey,
Therefore will not say thee nay.
Thou Art coming to a King;
Large petitions with the bring;
For his grace and power are such,
None can ever ask too much.
– John Newton
