No matter what you ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you. - John 15:16We truly can't ask Jehovah for anything. How do we know? The comments have this to say:
Jehovah was ready to answer their prayers for any help they needed to carry out the command to preach the Kingdom message.So, today, we ask Jehovah for help in doing his will, not ask for our own desires, such as preyers for a good paying job, financial security and other things of that nature.
We can see Jehovah's answers to our prayers when we read the Bible and receive needed counsel. We humbly ask for guidance and direction on making wise decisions so that we can be in a position to serve him more fully. We can pray for our brothers and sisters and He will respond with holy spirit and support for them.
When I get irritated or frustrated by something, I pray to Jehovah to help me to contain my anger, help in not being bitter or to hold grudges, to consign my propblems to God for Him to take care of. He answers by calming me down, helping me to reflect on what He promises through his Word, the Bible.
Jesus, quoted above, was talking about the preaching work. He was going to die soon, so he wanted to comfort his disciples by letting them know they were not left in the lurch, to figure things out for themselves, but Jehovah would provide what is necessary to assist them in accomplishign His will.
We have the same assurance today, even when our preaching is limited by the pandemic, and many have found ways to still preach, with letter writing and focusing on their Bible studies. That is wonderful to see and hear.
