Day 26

  

If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! – Matthew 7:11

 

“Jesus is laying down the rules of conduct in this passage for those people who have His Spirit. He urges us to keep our minds filled with the concept of God’s control over everything, which means that a disciple must maintain an attitude of perfect trust and an eagerness to ask and to seek.” – Oswald Chambers

 

Let us pray:

Father, help us to trust You in all areas of our life. It is scary sometimes to walk without knowing the exact plan or direction You have for us.

Lead us in the path of peace, today and forevermore. Amen.

Day 3

 

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:6-7

 

“Men and women are needed whose prayers will give to the world the utmost power of God; who will make His promises to blossom with rich and full results. God is waiting to hear us and challenges us to bring Him to do this thing by our praying. He is asking us, to-day, as He did His ancient Israel, to prove Him now herewith.” Behind God’s Word is God Himself, and we read: “Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: Ask of me of things to come and concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me.” As though God places Himself in the hands and at the disposal of His people who pray – as indeed He does. The dominant element of all praying is faith, that is conspicuous, cardinal and emphatic. Without such faith it is impossible to please God, and equally impossible to pray.” – E.M. Bounds

 

Let us pray:

Lord, many times we have faith to believe in You and faith to believe prayer for others. However there are many times when we do not have faith to believe prayer for ourselves. It is so strange. Help our unbelief. We are anxious and our minds run with so many plans of fixing things on our own. Help us to stop, be still, and focus on You. Help us to remember you are so desiring to intervene in our lives. We just need to allow You.

We’re tired of trying to make it work all the time. Today we give you permission to take control. We submit our cause into Your hand. Please take care of us. Please. Amen.

Morning Leaders – My Trust

September 8, 2015

Morning Leaders. “My trust in God flows out of the experience of his loving me, day in and day out, whether the day is stormy or fair, whether I’m sick or in good health, whether I’m in a state of grace or disgrace. He comes to me where I live and loves me as I am.” – Brennan Manning

Morning Leaders – Trust

September 12, 2014

Morning Leaders. “The most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God’s plan seems like it doesn’t make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us.” – Allyson Felix // #Facts

Morning Leaders – Trust & Intimacy

April 21, 2014

Morning Leaders. In the past three years some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned have had to do with learning anew about Trust, Intimacy, and Vulnerability. Although it has been a great deal of work (and still more to go), I have been able to find a freedom in my life and a freedom for myself that has been invaluable. #Maturity #Grace #MovingOnUp
