March 1, 2022 – Depending on God Through Prayer
Sermon: 2225 – When Parents Pray
Pray Over This
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
Ponder This
Prayer is God’s way of causing us to be dependent upon Him. If God just gave us what we needed without our asking, we would cease to be dependent on Him. Prayer is a way of binding us to Him. Asking God for what we need ought to be just as natural as breathing. Don’t get the idea you can only ask God for spiritual things, and you take care of the secular things. Can you imagine Jesus dividing His life into the secular and the sacred? Everything is important to God. You may say, “Well, this is beyond God,” or “This is too small for God to deal with.” No! Can you think of anything too big or too small for God to notice? Ask Him for any desire of your heart. You may say, “What if I want something that I shouldn’t?” You can still pray about it. You can say, “God, I want something You don’t want. Fix my want-er.” Pray about everything.
- How easy or difficult do you find it to pray to God about everything?
- What are some obstacles that keep you from praying to God about everything?
