Praying According to the Will of God

Today Pastor Nate looks at the prayer of Caleb in Joshua chapter 14. It is a bold prayer, in which Caleb asks for the hill country that God had promised. Pastor Nate explains what boldness in prayer is and how one can pray boldly. Sometimes our requests are not answered and sometimes they are. God could be answering one prayer by denying another. It can be confusing why God answers some prayers and not others, and it can be tempting to view him as a kind of Santa Claus or genie and be disappointed when we do not get what we asked for. We need a proper understanding of who God is and the imitation of Christ's example of prayer to humbly make our requests.
