Wow! Has it really been two weeks since my last post? You can tell it's Lent! Time is soooo flying by! Whoosh!
We're starting a new sermon series this Sunday that I'm really excited about. It's on prayer. We're going to take a look at some really famous prayers that are documented in the Bible. It's the prayers, of course, but it's also the situation from which the prayers were spoken; it's the amazing trust that is offered in the prayers to our all-powerful God; it's frustrations and joys and thanksgivings too!
It's all there as God invites to come to Him in this very intimate way. Just you and Him in a quiet little conversation. His promise is that He's going to a) Hear every word you say, and b) That He will answer your every request. Isn't that so cool? The problem comes so often, that He doesn't answer our prayer we feel it should be answered or in the way we want it to be answered. But when it is answered in God's timing and in His way, it's going to be the very best for us, because He can do nothing other than be good, right, perfect, and holy. Thank You, my Lord and God for loving me, and for hearing my prayer!
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
