Hi and welcome to the truth seekers podcast today's episode is part of our praying the Bible series

Each month we read a passage from the Bible and learn how to pray it back to God. Have you ever struggled with knowing what to say to God when you

pray? Sometimes we don't always know how to pray or what to pray when we're

talking to God. The good news is that God has given us the Bible and the Bible is filled with all kinds of truths we can

pray back to God.

When we are at a loss and don't know how or what to pray, we can turn to the Bible to give us truth that we can

stand on and believe in when we pray to God. Did you know that when you ask

Jesus into your heart you became a child of God. The Bible says we can have confidence

as we come before God and talk to him in prayer because he is our father and

he hears us. Today we are going to continue a series we started where we

read through seven different statements Jesus made about himself. When Jesus

was here on Earth he gave us pictures to help us understand

what he is like. Since Jesus is God's son that means that Jesus is God. It can be hard for our minds to grasp or understand what God is like

since we cannot see Him. So Jesus gave us seven illustrations to help us know what he is like. We call these I am

statements. Can you say I am? We call them I am statements because that's how

Jesus started each statement by saying I am.

Jesus gave us seven I am so that we would know exactly what he is.

Jesus wants us all who follow him to know him and know his goodness.

My prayer is that as we walk through these passages, we will come to understand and know Jesus better.

In our last few praying the Bible episodes

we've learned four of the I am statements.

Do you remember what pictures Jesus gave us to help us understand what he is like?
