When you need hope…

God sees.
He knows.
There’s rest to be had in this truth.

But how?

Let’s remember our Good Father always and accurately sees everything. Everything. (Heb 4:13 and Job 28:24)

He does. We can take that to the bank.

So, let’s don’t spin our wheels, wring our hands, and lose sleep over what we can’t control.

Instead, let’s ask the Lord to help us follow Him closer, trust Him more, and rest in His sovereign control of every day we will ever live.

Great.
Right.
But how?

Pray.
Yes, pray.

And can I be honest? I’ve not been praying as I should lately. Ive been convicted of this in multiple ways recently.

Yes! I love to read, and study, and write, about the Word.

But that should be balanced with prayer, and my prayer life has been…well, just less than it should be, and so my peace has been less than it could be.

The heroes of the faith, from Bible days to today, have all been people who diligently did the work of prayer.

They cast their worries and cares on Him, the strong One, the eternal One, the Rock that is higher.

And they asked for everyday things and they asked for BIG things. They didn’t limit God.

As they prayed, they walked forward in His strength and found rest.

Even when the days were sad, or hard, or uncertain, or even terrifying.

And just the fact, that we are invited to pray to the Most High, the fact that He hears our prayers, and speaks to us when we pray, should amaze us and encourage us.

Let’s be people who pray.
Let’s not neglect so great a blessing.

For His is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever…and He wants to hear our prayers!!

And would you please pray for me as I prepare to speak about Trusting God with Tomorrow at First Baptist Lenoir City Jan 26-27th? This is especially tender to my heart after the passing of my wonderful Dad last week. Thank you.
