If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. John 15:7

Jesus said… 

“Oftentimes men pray to the Father in My name, but do not abide in Me, that is, they take My name into their mouths and on their lips, but not into their hearts and lives. That is the reason why they do not obtain what they pray for.

But when I abide in them and they in Me, then whatever they ask from the Father they receive, because they pray under the direction of the Holy Spirit in that condition. The Holy Spirit shows them what will glorify the Father and be best for themselves and for others.

Otherwise they will get such an answer as a bad son got from a governor whom his father had served with great courage and honor. When the son presented a petition in his father's name and asked for some employment and favor, the governor pointed out to him his evil life and habits, and said, "Do not petition me in your father's name, but first go and act according to his example. Let his high worth be not on your lips only, but carry it into your life, and then your petition will be accepted."

Excerpts from “The Master’s Feet” by Sadhu Sundar Singh

Prayer: Lord, help us to abide in you and act according to your example. Let your high worth be not on our lips only, but carry it into our life. And then our petition will be accepted, and our prayers are heard and answered by you. Amen.
