And friends, once that’s taken care of and we’re no longer accusing or condemning ourselves, we’re bold and free before God! We’re able to stretch our hands out and receive what we asked for because we’re doing what he said, doing what pleases him. ~ 1 John 3:21-22 (MSG)
SUMMARY SENTENCE:
We should approach God expecting him to display his goodness.PRAYER:
Generous Heavenly Father, no doubt about it -- you're good. I confess that even though I've seen and experienced your goodness, I am guarded and hesitant to expect too much from you. Perhaps that's because I'm so used to asking for things which are inconsistent with your goodness. Grant me the wisdom to ask appropriately and the faith to trust in your goodness. No doubt about it -- you're good. Amen.
