Don’t be afraid when things get overwhelming. God is not a halfway God; what He promises, He will fulfill. There is no adding to it or taking away from it. His ways are mysterious and sure. When we fall on our knees to pray for help and strength, God immediately goes to work. We have only to stop, believe and see the power of His loving kindness.
Abide thou with me, fear not, for he that seeks my life seeks thy life; but with me thou shalt be in safeguard. 1 Samuel 22 verse 23.
It is a blessing to give refuge to those in need. The spirit and the flesh is weak, but the heart is warm. The soul is fat with gratitude and hope. Give, for the Lord of life will bless you and safeguard your going out and your coming in.
He knows the end from the beginning and all your deeds are written before hand.
So, don’t worry He has your back.
And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee, he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee, fear not, neither be dismayed. Deuteronomy 31 verse 8
He invites you to call out to Him in the day of trouble.
Yet To Be #192
Oh, why do you fear? Why is your heart so cast down? Did He not say ask anything? He invites you to call out to Him in the day of trouble. He wants you to turn to Him with all your heart and humble yourself, so shall you find rest in the time of need. God said it. We ought to believe it and take Him at His word. He hears all your prayers and answers them all on time. Ask and see if He will not open the heavens and pour out a blessing just for you.
The moment we fall on our knees in prayer, God begins to work.
Yet To be #174
We can leave it all to him. The moment we fall on our knees in prayer, God begins to work. He hears every cry and knows every tear. He said, “Ask anything in my name, and I will do it.” The words of the upright are pleasing to the Lord. The word of a penitent heart is pleasant in his ears. He knows the heart; he tries the reins, and he searches the soul. No one can hoodwink him, for he is God. Ask and see if he will not move the earth to see us through. He is a God of love and compassion. Great is his faithfulness.
And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it. John 14:13 and 14
A Matter of Praying…part 2 or 5Privileges as a Child of God
God has children, children who are adopted into His family. Every new believer who has accepted Christ as Saviour is grafted into the family of God and has a seat at the table of God. We are joint-heirs with Christ and heirs of God.
Being a Child of God has its privileges; knowing the Creator of this vast universe inclines his ear to hear our prayers and answers every one of them. This is a promise from God.
When He makes a promise they are fulfilled. He is a Father but not an earthly man and therefore he can never tell a lie. Unlike us He is perfect and all His words and ways are right.
To understand Him is to get to know him.
By spending time with him, talking to him, and reading His word we draw near to Him. As we draw to God, He in turn comes near to us because He cannot deny Himself.
If He gave the son of His love to save this present evil world, how can he withhold any good thing from us?
He remains faithful because He is faithful.
How awesome is that?
Being a Child of God has 5 of the best privileges.
We are adopted into the family of the True and Living God. Romans 8:15-17
We are joint heirs with Christ and heirs of God. Everything is ours: life, love, joy, peace. Psalm 50:10
He hears us at all times. Jeremiah 33:3, 2 Corinthians 1:20
He is not a liar. Numbers 23:19. What He says, He will do and not disappoint.
