Read the passage: Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:7-9
I think all of us have been disappointed before when we pray. Sometimes we have a very worthy thing to pray for. We have a real need, and we’re not being selfish about it. Or we’re praying for someone else who’s hurting and they need help. And we pray with all our heart and nothing happens. And we can’t understand why God doesn’t just help us. And it’s natural to wonder, does God even care? Is God even real? Or did we do something wrong? Because it doesn’t make sense that God COULD help us and he just doesn’t. So prayer can be really frustrating and confusing.
But we’re not meant to live in frustration and confusion towards God. Because the Bible actually tells us what’s happening behind the scenes. It doesn’t tell us everything, but it tells us enough so that we don’t have to be frustrated and confused when we pray. But instead we can be confident even in the most difficult times.
So my big question today is: why should we be confident when we pray?
My answer is:
● 1. Because God’s HEART deserves our confidence, and
● 2. Because God’s MIND deserves our confidence.
