Read 1 John 5:11-21

And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life.
Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts. - 1 John 5:20-21 (NLT)

As we live in fellowship with Christ, as we abide in Him, our lives are reoriented. More and more we think like Christ, we desire what He desires—our own obedience and holiness, as well as the salvation of any and all those who are part of our lives. And so we ask for these things, and God will grant them because they are in accordance with His will as well. May we always keep God in the center of our lives.
