Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear the day before Saul came, saying,

LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear,

' Thus says the Lord GOD: "I will also let the house of Israel inquire of Me to do this for them: I will increase their men like a flock.

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
