Every one of us misunderstands at least some portions of the Bible and are ignorant on at least some aspects of doctrine — regardless of how long we have been believers; regardless of how familiar we are with the things of God. Thankfully our salvation is not dependent on perfect knowledge of God’s truth(s)!
That the Father may be glorified in the Son:it is to this end that Jesus on His throne in glory will do all we ask in His Name. Every answer to prayer He gives will have this as its object: when there is no prospect of this object being obtained, He will not answer. It follows as a matter of course that this must be with us, as with Jesus, the essential element in our petitions: the glory of the Father must be the aim and end, the very soul and life of our prayer. (Adapted from Andrew Murray, With Christ in the School of Prayer)
