Summary
Prayer is so simple, but often times our minds convolute and complicate it. Today we’re exploring how to encounter God through prayer, and I pray you take away a simplified, childlike approach to spending time with your heavenly Father. May your heart and mind be at peace today as you encounter the living God.
Our Scripture for today comes from Jeremiah 33:3, and today's worship is House of God Forever by Jon Foreman.
--
Faith doesn’t happen on its own. It’s a byproduct of time spent experiencing the faithfulness of our God. It’s a gift given to us by the Giver of good gifts, himself.
It was a supernatural faith that allowed Paul to sing even while in chains. It was supernatural faith that allowed Peter to proclaim the gospel, even unto death. And it’s supernatural faith that will carry you to and through the greatest gospel opportunities in front of you.
We pray our printed devotionals, Faith and Trust, help people like you experience the life changing reality that faith and trust have on your everyday life.
With Faith you’ll:
- Discover a Biblical framework for living faithfully
- Study powerful moments of God’s faithfulness in scripture
- Tear down personal strongholds in your life where you struggle with faith
- Develop a lifestyle of faith, that weathers the storms of life
And every dollar you give today goes to help more people like you experience the nearness and love of our God.
Everything changes when we learn to trust and become filled with faith in our good, good God. Get your copy at supportfirst15.org!
