in the Goodness of God
God
Proves His Goodness through Your Prayers
By Rick Warren — February 24,
2019
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and
you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you"
(Matthew 7:7 NIV).
When you forget how eager God is to help you, it's easy
to start depending on yourself and to stop asking God for
his help and provision.
Perhaps you only ask God for the "big stuff" and not
the "small stuff." Guess what: Everything is small to
God. None of your requests are
big in God's eyes! He has every hair on your head
numbered, and he knows how many fell out in the sink this
morning.
You're not bothering God when you give him your
requests. He's the one who set up the system of prayer in
the first place. That's why the New
Testament tells us more than 20 times to ask for whatever we
need in prayer: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek
and you will find; knock and
the door will be opened to you" (Matthew 7:7
NIV).
If it's big enough to worry about, it's big enough to
pray about. Worry won't solve it, but prayer will.
God grows your faith and trust the same way a parent
teaches a child to trust (Luke 11:13). First, the child
recognizes an unmet need. Second, the
child expresses that need. Third, the parent meets that
need.
God uses this same cycle to teach you how to trust him.
You have an unmet need. You express that unmet need to God.
God meets that need, and you
learn to trust him more. If you're not expressing your
needs to God, how can you grow in trust? That's the only
way you learn.
God proves his goodness when you ask. But you must wait
patiently for God's timing to deliver. God often does not
give immediate answers because
he wants to test your faith.
We learn to trust God by watching for the many ways he
meets our needs and answers our prayers. This reminds us
that God is reliable and can be
counted on.PLAY
today's audio teaching from Pastor Rick
>>
Talk About It
What thoughts keep you from asking God for his help
(such as "I don't deserve God's goodness," "I need
to work hard first," or "God
is good but maybe not all the time")?
One of the main ways God tests our trust and our faith
is through money and finances. Why do you think this is
so?
What do you need help with today? Ask God for his help,
but start with expressing gratitude for what he's already
given you.
Our
Gift: Living in the Goodness of God Guided
Experience
Is God really
good all the time? Absolutely, but too often we don't live
like we believe it.
This in-depth guided experience is much more than a Bible
study. It's a spiritual growth tool that will show you how
to trust God, apply his Word,
and live in his goodness every day of your life. This book
has a soft leather like cover and has 285 full color
interior pages packed with Pastor
Rick's teaching, Bible verses, graphic artwork, photos and
exercises all designed to help you learn how to truly live
in God's goodness.
God wants to give you the confidence of his goodness, even
on your darkest days.
