A very simple and intimate chapter on our Father in Heaven. He is our ultimate Father we should not call any man on earth our Father only He is perfect. He is our Abba as Jesus called out to our Heavenly Father on the cross. He brings us all we will ever need from a Father. He is our faithful provider. He provided for the 5 thousand in the Bible. He is our strong protector, He is our Loving Leader. He gave His Son.

Society knows of God and Jesus but is totally not understanding of the Holy Spirit. Jesus had to ascend to be with His Father or the Holy Spirit couldn't be within us. Jesus getting baptized is found in Matthew 3:16 when the Holy Spirit comes into the scene. Verse 17 is when we hear God's voice speaking of Jesus. There is unity within the Godhead all 3 are God in 1. Jesus reflects the nature of God who created us.

A chapter that is straight to the point on the Trinity and where it is in scripture The Father Son and the Holy Spirit. One time we see it happen together is when Jesus is getting baptized the Holy Spirit decends upon Him and a loud voice from Heaven is heard saying how He is well pleased with Jesus. Yes they are 3, but 3 in one. Jesus once said if anyone has seen me they have seen the Father...

Expanding on the things we can pray for we usually start with our needs this is what keeps us coming back to Him in prayer. When we ask according to His will we pray according to His Kingdom what would God like us to do that glorifies Him? We align our prayers in Him to watch in confidence and He amazes us. Good things whats one loving thing I can pray for? Lastly our hearts desire something special to us He answers

I didn't think I would get back to this book. I see what God is trying to tell me because I been hearing a lot of it in my spiritual life with Him. It aligns perfectly with the same message. When we pray we need to ask sincerely and give Him the glory. We have not because we ask not as it says in His Word. We can ask for our needs, we can ask according to His Will and for good things. Also our hearts desire.

God is also our deliverer. Delivering us from all evil. He delivered David, Moses, Esther, Daniel God listened and delivered them from what they were asking. God rescues the Godly from trials. Every day is a new challenge. Prayer should always be our first thought when we are in need. Our prayers become powerful and effective when we have God in our hearts. This way we can rest in Him in His hands.

Prayer is where we can make it all right again coming before the Father receiving forgiveness and extending it to others. God is our protective leader He already knows every situation we come in contact with He can lead us away from it if need be. He wants us to walk in all faithfulness and fullness secure and protected.

God is merciful and forgiving. God wants us to experience the fullness of joy knowing we are forgiven our sins are covered He has taken them away as far as the east is from the west. The refreshing stream of forgiveness is ours to enjoy. We also depend on His grace that we extend to others especially when they have wronged us or hurt us that we have not forgiven. God forgave us so we can forgive them.

God is our Provider He established His throne in Heaven. Like the children of Israel they depended on God for manna each morning. We also have a need each morning not just physical bread alone but for every word that comes out of the mouth of God. He is the "Bread of Life". He has a fresh word for us every day. In prayer we dont miss what He has to say. He told us to ask and in return we shall receive.

An light chapter on Prayer praying how Jesus prayed. We can come to Him in conversation in a real relationship with Him as His child.God is Holy His Name is Holy everything He does is Holy. When we come to Him in Prayer it should be a sacred time. He is worthy to be praised in adoration. He can do anything. God is King. He reigns high above in the heavens. His desires should always be done. His will not our will.
