The Kingdom of God, Pt 12

The most perplexing question in prayer is simply “why?” God doesn’t answer my prayers... my way. #1, You are not God #2, God is not done #3, “Do I really believe that God is good? Do I really trust Him?” What we want is an answer, but what we need is a Person. Matthew 6:9-13 #1, express desires, not demands. #2, pray “not my will, but Your will.” #3, focus on the Giver, not the gift. For many of us, prayer is worry in God’s direction. God is bigger than your circumstances, and He is better than your circumstances. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 Paul knew he was working for something circumstances could not destroy. Ask God to help you… - see beyond your circumstances. - persevere beyond your circumstances - fulfill His Kingdom.
