Work on Your Character

The most effective way to have your prayers answered is not to continue asking because God already knows what you need before you ask. Take care of your character and God will give you the desires of your heart. John 15:16 says “you did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit–fruit that will last–and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you”. But what fruit is Christ talking about? “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control”. Cooperate with The Spirit to develop those fruits in your character “and whatever you ask in (His) name the Father will give you”.
