“Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever.” Ps136.26 NIV
Jesus taught us to pray this way, “Our Father who art in Heaven.” Because God is in Heaven, and, because He is the God of Heaven, this should be a great comfort for all of us who look to Him on earth. Our Father is above all things. This isn’t just talking about where God is but who God is. God is over all things like a ruler is over His kingdom. When we approach Him with our prayers, He is all powerful not powerless. Nothing is impossible for Him, nothing is beyond His power to save.
This means a great deal to me when I pray for others. We might be tempted to believe that God cannot help those who will not help themselves. But when you pray for a friend who is not a Christian God can turn their heart to Him. This encouragement to give thanks can give us both comfort and confidence. Our God reigns. Our God loves and His love lasts forever. ASK HIM! 11/29/07 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
