When we are born again we are seen through the eyes of God's beloved son Jesus. That means that we have access to all the gifts and privileges that Jesus has earned through His perfection. One thing in particular is the right to pray to God and lay our troubles at His feet. We are supposed to have the kind of intimate relationship with our Heavenly Father that we can ask for what we need. We can go to Him like we would a trusted confidant, and invite Him into the situation to help us.
We should never be intimidated or shy about asking Him for anything. Even though He knows and sees what's happening in our lives, we need to have the same relationship with Him that we would with a loving Father. In the end, He is the only one who can change our circumstance and make a difference. Always come before the Lord confidently with your requests and trust that He will be faithful in answering them if you with a pure heart. Remember your right as a son or daughter of your Heavenly Father.
