Lesson 18: Knowledge of God’s Will
Only those who know and do God’s will can expect favorable response to their prayers. If you have cherished sin in your heart the Lord will not listen; he will not hear your voice in prayer. Pray, therefore, that God will give us knowledge of his will with all spiritual understanding and wisdom in order that we may live a life worthy of the Lord, bearing fruit in every good work and growing in our knowledge of God, depending upon God’s strength to help us grow in patience and endurance, giving praise to God for bringing us out of the kingdom of darkness under the dominion of evil and into the kingdom of light under the benevolent rule of his son Jesus.
