Weekend Edition

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”

Romans 15:13 (ESV)

Our God is in the business of answering prayers. No prayer is too big, no request too small. A prayer offered in faith, in accordance with His perfect will, WILL BE ANSWERED. There may not be evidence of instantaneous fruit from your prayer but we can rejoice in hope and peace knowing that we believe that it will be done. God is the God of Hope!

I have recently been encouraged by a friend of mine’s belief and hope for an almost impossible prayer request. Yet God is faithful and through a journey we are starting to see the fruit of our laboured prayers. This is not to say that we have to pray to twist God’s arm in submitting to our will but rather in the patience and waiting, we learn to fully trust God and submit to His will. We become aligned with His heart and His desires. We may not always see the positive but we can rest assured that God’s ways are higher than ours and that His will is always perfect. It is in the waiting that our character is formed and in the trusting that are hope and faith are built.

This weekend’s encouragement is to keep hope alive. Keep trusting in God, that He will deliver and answer your prayers. Keep believing and rejoicing in peace and joy and see how God answers you!
