Question: What should I expect from a relationship with Jesus?

Question: I have a question that only leads to more questions: What should I expect from a relationship with Jesus? Some would tell me that the sky is the limit when it comes to God, who will control my life and guide my thoughts and actions. Others make it sound like we can just ask and get whatever we want from him.

Response:The concept of “name it and claim it” is the pathway to disaster. We don’t tell God what to do or what to give us; we submit ourselves to His holy will in everything. There is nothing so thrilling as to be in God’s will and see Him at work in and through us. Yes, there will be trials and triumphs. As to what we can do? Meditate on God’s Word. Tell Christ frequently that you love Him and want to love Him more and know Him better. You will find then that you have plenty of evidence that He is there and that He hears your prayers.
