GENEROUS GOD

PSALM 69:13 (NLT)
But I keep praying to you, LORD,
hoping this time you will show me favor.
In your unfailing love, O God,
answer my prayer with your sure salvation.


JOHN 16:23 (MSG)
When I see you again, you’ll be full of joy, and it will be a joy no one can rob from you. You’ll no longer be so full of questions.

This is what I want you to do: Ask the Father for whatever is in keeping with the things I’ve revealed to you. Ask in my name, according to my will, and he’ll most certainly give it to you.


SUMMARY SENTENCE
Be encouraged because you're in the loving care of a generous God.

PRAYER
Listening God, I swim through rough waters of doubt and despair when I forget that I am in the ocean of your love. The sure salvation of Jesus keeps me from sinking. Help me to trust in the power of Christ's name. As I meet challenges today, help me to pray through them without fear. Amen. (Daily Tests, Ground Up Grace edition)
