· Jesus tells us that His Father wants us to ask for His help.
· He wants us to recognize His greatness, His love for us and His endless mercy.
· When we ask the Father for His help, we recognize our place – as His child.
· When we boldly ask for the Father’s help, we profess our faith in His benevolence.
· When we persist in our request we demonstrate our trust.
· Will you ask the Father?
· He is waiting for your petition.
· Approach life in the Kingdom with the openness to majesty, wonder and goodness that children have.
· Look at God’s gifts to us, especially one another, with gratitude and joy.
· God made us for Him and for one another. He made us to be happy.
· Let not human strife spoil our joy with one another, be they friend, relative, neighbor or husband and wife.
· Let us trust, like children do, that our heavenly Father wants what is best for us, and will make his plan known to us.
· Let us seek His plan for us and live to fulfill it – whatever that may be.
· Think about it.
· God the Father made us to live and share in His happiness in spite of the sin and evil that came into the world.
· Jesus showed us throughout His ministry that He can overcome death and evil.
· If we trust and believe in Him, He will respond to our reaching out, as He did with the woman with the hemorrhages and Jarius’ daughter.
· Then you will “ARISE” renewed and healed.
· You will die to your old self, so you can be revitalized in faith and love and live in His Spirit.
· What in your life is causing you pain and difficulty in believing?
· Faith and trust can overcome all of these obstacles for renewal in Jesus Christ.
