“Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.” Proverbs 30:5 (ESV) |

Excerpt:
When I suspect God isn’t listening, the voice of Scripture shouts, “But it is sure that God has heard. He has listened to the voice of my prayer” (Psalm 66:19, NLV).
In other words: “That doesn’t sound like my Daddy!”
Friends, this is how we move from the cramped shadows of hiding to the wide expanse of trust! When we are standing in the gap between what we feel in our hearts and what we know of God’s heart, we invite His Word to bridge the distance.
And as we do, we find ourselves longing to know Him more. So go ahead and draw nearer. Because your Father loves you no matter what, and He’s always waiting with open arms.
Dear Jesus, speak to me through Your Spirit and Your Word. Reveal any faulty assumptions I have about my heavenly Father. Help me to know and trust Him more. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
