When the day of glory comes, there will be no need of exhortation to boldness in prayer, for all will be praise. There is urgent call for such prayer now in this world with its difficulties and perils; withal it is the day of the richest blessing for the Christian when we know that Christ is in the Father, we in Him, and He in us. It is therefore just the time for this practical boldness in asking God for anything and all things according to His will; aught else we dare not wish. And we know that He hears us.
But if God encourages us to ask with boldness, we are constantly exposed to miss asking according to His will unless we grow in the knowledge of His Word. Here lies the practical value of cultivating a deeper spiritual understanding of the Scriptures. The Word of God He magnifies above all His name, and so should we. [23]
