The dawning realization that God is for us--that He is persistently committed to our eternal good--should certainly raise the level of our confidence in approaching Him with prayers. It doesn’t hurt to ask for things unless we somehow forget that when He says, “No,” it is because He has something better in mind. Our confidence isn’t that He will give us what we want, but the absolute belief that He will always give us His very best. The highest level of confidence happens when His will and ours become one and the same.
“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Heb.4
