The best ways for believers to receive from God is through faith and prayer. By faith, we believe God. And through prayer, we ask and seek God for what we need, desire, and hope for. If we ask anything in His Name and according to His Word and will, God will certainly hear, answer, and grant us whatever we ask of Him. But our petitions must be in alignment with His will for us. The Bible says that we have not because we ask not. When was the last time you asked God for guidance, wisdom, and instructions in life, marriage or relationships, tough decisions, dire circumstances or difficult situations, simple tasks, or anything that pertains to your life, purpose, and future? God wants us to approach Him humbly and confidently in faith and prayer to petition and ask Him for whatever we need and desire. If you need stronger faith, wisdom, peace, joy, comfort, strength, healing, deliverance, or anything, just ask God. He is our source! All our help, hope, and everything that we need to survive and thrive, and live a godly, purposeful, and joyful life comes from Him.
 
Asking God for what we need and desire demonstrates our faith and trust in Him, and belief that He is able to perform His Word, provide our every need, and grant the petitions we have placed before Him. Put on the WordWear “ASK GOD” design in confidence that when you ask God anything according to His will, He hears and will answer you.
 
14. This is the [remarkable degree of] confidence which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that if we ask anything according to His will, [that is, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us.
 
15. And if we know [for a fact, as indeed we do] that He hears and listens to us in whatever we ask, we [also] know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted to us] the requests which we have asked from Him.
