PRAYING THE PROMISES OF GOD
PONDER
Bring your honest questions before God.
“How long, Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen?” Habakkuk 1:2
Take a moment to reflect:
- What feels overwhelming or unresolved right now?
- Where do you feel weary, discouraged, or confused?
- What question do you want to bring honestly before God?
God is not threatened by your questions. He invites them.
REMEMBER
Anchor your prayer in God’s promises.
As you cry out, let God’s Word shape what you ask and how you trust.
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous
right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
God’s promises remind us:
- He is present, even when answers feel delayed
- He is at work, even when circumstances confuse us
- He is faithful to His people, always
PRAY
Pray honestly, trust fully.
“God, I bring You my questions and my concerns. I choose to trust You
even when I don’t understand Your timing. Help me live by faith, not by
fear. Anchor my heart in Your promises and shape my trust through Your
Word. Amen.”
PRAYING AS A FAMILY
God made each of your kids to be unique. They will relate to God differently depending on things like interests, personality, spiritual gifts and life experiences. Take some time as a family this month to discuss these questions:
- What is your favorite way to talk with God?
- When is the last time you knew God answered a prayer or was at work in our family?
- When it’s hard to pray or hear from God, why do you think that is?
- How can our family best support the different ways God made us to pray?
