Uniting Your Heart with His

“If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” —John 15:7 ESV

Jesus extends a beautiful invitation in John 15:7, the opportunity to unite our hearts in prayer with the Almighty. What an awesome thought! We can have our will united with His in truth and be one in desire, purpose, mind, motive, heart, and spirit.

There’s a moment when I make this connection with God. The Holy One invites me into His presence, and our hearts and desires touch, meeting in unity. This is when I know I’m praying on holy ground, when I’m confident of the outcome—because my will has become aligned with His. His Word has informed and instructed my praying, and my heart has conformed to His. All else fades away as unimportant, and His reality stands alone, commanding my full and undivided attention.

Let’s accept Jesus’ invitation. Let’s unite our hearts with the Almighty and ask whatever we wish. Let’s ask for Him to accomplish what’s on His heart. Let’s ask Him to give us hearts “frameable,” moldable, pliable to His will.
