"[Cast] all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." – 1 Peter 5:7
To those who trust in him for salvation, Jesus will never say:
"Go play somewhere; I'm busy."
"Fake it til you make it."
"I just don't think it's gonna work out between us."
"I knew you were a screw-up, but this one really surprised me."
"It's too late."
"I don't care."
"My assistant will get back to you on that."
"We're through."
"I need some 'me time' right now."
"I just 'can't' right now."
"I feel like I'm doing all the giving; what have you done for me lately?"
"Yeah, good job on ___________, but what about ____________?"
"I'll be glad to help if you'll 'let' me."
"I can't bless you until you release my power with positive words."
"Who are you, again?"
"Beat it."
How does God's Word impact our prayers?
God invites His children to talk with Him, yet our prayers often become repetitive and stale. How do we have a real conversation with God? How do we come to know Him so that we may pray for His will as our own?
In the Bible, God speaks to us as His children and gives us words for prayer—to praise Him, confess our sins, and request His help in our lives.
