(Read 1 John 5:13-15.)

19. (a) According to 1 John 5:14, 15, we have what “confidence” toward God? (b) What are some things for which we can rightly pray?

¹⁹ Toward God we have “confidence,” or “outspokenness,” that no matter what we ask in prayer “according to his will, he hears us.” We rightly pray for such things as the sanctification of Jehovah’s name, his spirit, godly wisdom, and deliverance from the wicked one. (Matthew 6:9, 13; Luke 11:13; James 1:5-8) And “we know we are to have the things asked since we have asked them of him,” the “Hearer of prayer.”​—Psalm 65:2.
