Remembering What I Know

Today as I set aside some time to just seek the Lord and pray for the events happening in our world, I felt overwhelmed.  The conflict in Syria seems like a vicious cycle, and the answers are so unclear.  I kept trying to pray and felt uncertainty on how to pray.  It was then that the Holy Spirit directed me to write down what I know about God.  It blessed me, and I want to share it with you.  Sometimes meditating on what we know about God is the most powerful way to pray.  The enemy loves to show off.  He does it on the news, in our families, and in our own thoughts.  We must remember what we know about our God.  Please feel free to use this list as you seek God's face today.

Our God is Wise

He doesn't need us to council him. He spoke, and the world was formed.  He sees all, knows all, and is not limited by time.  He speaks exactly what needs to be said, at exactly the right time.  He knows when a bird dies, and he knows our words before they're spoken.  He understand the seen and the unseen.

Our God is Strong

He used one man to slay hundreds.  He can move mountains, break towers, shake nations, and throw armies into confusion.  He causes demons to beg, plead, and tremble.  He fasted forty days and nights, looked in the face of Satan, and still overcame.  All authority has been given to him.  His voice thunders.


Our God is Good

Everything that is pure, right, and holy comes from him.  He is the creator of life.  He serves the weak and pursues the poor.  He does not lie, and he hates wickedness.  He always opposes evil.  He is patient beyond comprehension.  He is not easily angered.  He forgives.

Our God is Willing

He draws near to humanity.  He seeks that which is lost.  He rejoiced when his friends walked in victory.  He is close to the brokenhearted.  He makes his home in human hearts.  He weeps with us while keeping track of our tears.  He uses us even in our weakness.  He laid down his majesty, and he subjected himself to a cruel world.  He washes our feet.  He enables us to love.  He provides a way out of every temptation.  He works on our behalf.  He never sleeps.  He provides new mercy every morning.  He will raise us up again.  He will allow us to rule and reign with him.
