"Do not feed on the husks of self-righteousness, but go to the Lord; He has the best robe to put upon you, and His arms are open to receive you. Christ will say, "Take away the filthy garments, and clothe him with a change of raiment." (Zech.3:4).
But shall we wait till we feel that we are cleansed?--No;
Christ has promised that "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9).
You are proved of God through His Word.
--You are not to wait for wonderful emotions before you believe that God has heard you;
--feeling is not to be your criterion,
You must have something solid for the foundation of your faith. The word of the Lord is a word of infinite power, upon which you may rely; and He has said, "Ask, and ye shall receive." (John 16:24)

Has He not said that if you ask anything in His name, you shall receive?"The Bible Echo 1893 E.G.W.
