The Power of Prayer
Prayer is powerful because of who is listening, not because of who is speaking or what they’re saying. You get to pray to your Father, the powerful God who wants you to embrace His love today.
The Lord’s Prayer begins by addressing “our Father in heaven.” A Father who holds all power and authority. A Father who loves you greatly. Unlike earthly fathers, our heavenly Father loves us perfectly—Jesus’ nail-scarred hands prove the depth of His love for us.
In this passage, Christ teaches us how to approach our loving Father in prayer: fixing our eyes on His eternal kingdom, not our temporary one. He tells us to go to God, not the world, with our daily needs. Jesus shows us how to drop the weights of sin and unforgiveness. He encourages us to be controlled by the power of God, rather than evil.
The Lord’s Prayer invites God’s influence to take root in us, guiding our hearts into right relationship with the Lord and welcoming His authority into our lives while rejecting worldly power.
Don’t run from it. Seek Him through prayer, allowing Him to guide you and carry your burdens. He might not work in ways you fully understand, but you will walk lighter knowing He hears you, and He’s fighting for you.
Out of This World
For thousands of years, people have gathered around campfires and peered into the night’s sky, studying the stars.
Now, thanks to telescopes and satellites and advances in modern technology, we’ve uncovered more about God’s celestial creation than ever before: diverse planets, interstellar dust, mysterious black holes, and billions of other galaxies.
What we’ve discovered, however, is not new to God. It’s the very same heavens and the very same earth that He spoke into existence at the very beginning of time. And though we’ve only scratched the surface on what’s still to be discovered, the vastness of the heavens and the brilliance of its design beckons both humility and worship.
In Psalm 8, David wrote:
“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?”
