So I tell you this: whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have already received it, and it will be yours.

Please pray that I'll be protected from the non-believers in Judea, and that when I show up in Jerusalem with this gift, the believers there will actually welcome what I'm bringing.

But when you ask, you need to actually believe it's going to happen — don't go back and forth about it. Because someone who's constantly second-guessing themselves is like a wave in the ocean that just gets pushed around by whatever wind is blowing that day.
