When God’s Answer is No
Has God ever answered your prayer with a “no”? I was recently reminded just how merciful God’s answers to prayer are—especially when His answer is no.
Asking in Faith
What does it look like to “ask in faith” as James 1 tells us to? The account of Hannah in 1 Samuel gives us a glimpse.
A Place to Pray
Have you ever noticed that prayer tends to be easier when we make a habit of praying in a specific place?
The Result of Prayer
It’s easy to get caught up in our problems and forget to take them to the Lord. But when we neglect to take our requests to God, we miss out on more than just answers to prayer.
Christ Interceding
Romans 8 is a favorite passage of mine, but recently I noticed something in it which had never stood out to me before.
Be Still
We live such busy lives, time with God can end up a rushed recital of a list of things we want. We might remember to praise God for something, or thank Him for the answers He will give, but so often we forget to just be still before Him.
Importunate Prayer
In Luke 18, God gives an example of prayer that can only be described as annoyingly persistent. This kind of importunate prayer is something God desires from His people.
Unfurled: A Lesson in Christian Growth
We like to keep ourselves wrapped tightly in our own opinions, habits, and attitudes, but for Christians, God has something better planned.
Boldness and Access
How is it that we can come before God with our petitions? It is because of Christ. Ephesians 3:12 says, (referring to Christ,) “In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of Him.”
So what does that mean for us?
