Is That You, God?

Gideon replied, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, give me a sign that it is really you talking to me.”—Judges 6:17 (NIV)
At one time or another, almost everyone asks God for a sign or a message of reassurance. To hear God’s voice, continue to pray and read His word. Scripture speaks to your heart and validates that He is always with you.
Heavenly Father, I know that it’s really You talking to me.

Receive His Peace

Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you.—Job 22:21 (NIV)

What It Means to Ask

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.—Matthew 7:7 (NIV)
This verse is often misunderstood to mean that whatever you ask for in prayer, God will deliver. The true meaning is that when you surrender your will for God’s, your prayers will be fulfilled in His chosen way. Trust that God always gives what you need, and the door will be opened for you.
Gracious Father, help me trust that where You guide, You provide. I am ready to put Your understanding over my wants and needs.
