Prayer And God's Goodness!

Psalm 103:1-13

"God is a good God."
We say this often but do we really have any conviction about it?
If we truly believe God is good, we won't have an issue with prayer.
Why wouldn't you want to pray to a good God?

God's goodness should be a motivation for our prayers.
Pray to God because He is good.
In God's goodness, He will answer your prayers.
The Bible is clear about it that God is a good God.
Psalm 25:6,7
The Bible is clear about it, God extends goodness to people, to human beings.
God also makes His goodness develop in people. Galatians 5:22

Every promise of God's Word came about because of God's goodness. Mark 10:18
Everything we enjoy - the air we breath, the food we eat, the money we spend, the opportunities we've had, our children, our spouses, the homes we live in, the love we've enjoyed are all part of God's goodness to us.

Part of the devil's tactic is to take our eyes off God's goodness.
The devil will try and prevent you from seeing how good God has been to you by distracting you with challenges and difficulties he prepared.
The plan of the enemy is to make you grumble, murmur, fearful and unsure.

We have to keep our sights on Jesus Christ.
When we keep our sights on Jesus Christ we will have the right perspective.
Hebrews 12:2
When we have the right perspective we will see and discern the goodness of God.
 Acts 10:38
Look around you, God's goodness is all around. 1 Timothy 4:4
Yes, times may be tough, yes there may be evil in the World, yes the devil exists.
In spite of all this, God is good and His goodness dominates evil. Genesis 1:4

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
