Pray

Often people who have no relationship with God will pray when they are in trouble or when they urgently need help in a time of great distress.  Does God hear their prayer?  Yes!  Will He answer their prayer?  Yes!  How God answers their prayer is up to God for He knows the heart of the person praying and will answer according to His perfect will for that person.  God is much more generous than any human being and He alone knows the end from the beginning.  When we give our will and life over to the care of God we are promised that His eyes always watch over us and His ears are attentive to all our prayers.

We who have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Saviour are God’s beloved children.  Like any good parent, God is aware of His children’s needs.  The closer we get to our Heavenly Father the more He will speak with us.  God’s desire is that we will grow in knowledge and wisdom through prayer and meditation on His word.  He also gives us His Holy Spirit who helps us understand and obey the principles of His Word.  God also enables us to love and care for others as He loves and cares for us.

God cares about His creation and each of us are benefitting from His goodness in the world today.  Can anyone imagine living in a place without God in it?

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, Thank You for being aware of all my needs even when I was in rebellion against You.  Forgive me for the times I would not surrender my will and my life to Your care because Your principles were different from what I wanted to do.  From today, I ask You to help me walk in Your ways and obey You in all that I do and say. Amen
