“God stands back of every promise He
has made. With your Bible in your hands say,
I have done as (you have) said. I present Thy
promise, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek,
and (you) shall find; knock, and it shall be opened
unto you.” E. G. White, Christ Object Lessons, p. 147.
“And this is the confidence that we have
in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his
will, he (hears) us: And if we know that he hear(s)
us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the
petitions that we desired of him.” 1 John 5:14,15.
(I have taken the liberty of changing this quote and Bible verse so that the words in brackets are modern English, ex. "you" instead of "Thou", and "hears" instead of "heareth". JB)
