1 John 5:13-21

1 John 5:14
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 

I believe it's very important to remember that God doesn't just grant us all our wishes and demands that we ask of Him... He will only provide and give what's necessary or needed to carry out His will in me.

1 John 5:16
If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that.

Even though we still stumble at the work of Satan and sin, we have the blessing of repenting and confessing before God and He'll forgive us of our wrongdoings. However, the ultimate Sin of denying God and His existence, mercy, and grace will be the one that will lead to death. It's something that can't be taken lightly, something that even prayer itself won't be enough.

1 John 5:21
Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.

Not school. Not my relationship. Not friends. Not family. Not self-gratification. The only one that I will worship and put all my love and heart into is God, who has blessed me everything I have now.
