Israel’s victory at Jericho is one of the most famous stories in the Bible. But many people don’t know that what followed was an embarrassing defeat, which left Israel’s leader, Joshua, confused and on his face before God.

The Bible tells us that when we pray to God “if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us” (1 John 5:14). For many Christians who feel in the dark about God’s will, those words send them into doubt and insecurity. We don’t have to wring our hands and wonder what the Lord is up to. God promises to show us how to pray His will for every situation we face. All we have to do is wait and trust Him.

In no uncertain terms does the Bible tell us to pray. And it’s with this same certainty that it tells us those prayers will be answered. The basis of all answered prayer is that God is a good Father who loves His children— not a reward we can earn, but the fruit of a relationship we were created to enjoy.
