Sometimes, we can think of Jesus as our magical genie in a bottle. We think that if we just fold our hands, close our eyes, and ask nicely enough, He will give us anything we want. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches us today that Jesus doesn’t grant our every wish like that! The Lord answers us when our prayers are in alignment with His Will. Something that happens when we grow closer to Jesus is that our desires begin to look more like His, and that is when our prayers of faith begin to have an effect.
