Title: 'Ask With Expectancy'

Title:'HIGH EXPECTANCY'/Text1 - Visual Prayer Art by Rev.Bola A.
Today's Verse:
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us
- 1 John 5:14 (KJV)
 
Brethren,
Is it not wonderful that we have a God and Creator, a Source that hears us, listens to our prayers and assists are daily life? Our lives only really become exiting when we align them with God and His purpose. Personally, until I came to know Christ, life had no meaning to me, and made no sense at all.
The same old negative patterns kept repeating in my life, no matter how much I tried to rid myself of them. Knowing Christ has brought me to a place of stability and peace, that I could not find in anything or anyone else. Countless other Christian believers have testified to the same thing. Knowing Jesus, walking with God on a daily basis brings about a renewed confidence. People, places, conditions, situations and circumstances can and do let us down when we put our confidence solely in them. But confidence in God is always reliable and rewarding.
 
What do you want God to do for you today? Are you in need of clarity, healing, peace of mind, friendship, encouragement, loving support, fellowship, forgiveness, assurance, recovery, direction, deliverance, material resources,  or just a space to rest? Then ask God now with confidence, knowing that you will receive. God loves you so much, and wants to supply you with everything you need for a victorious and happy life. However you have a part to play in that, by asking for what you need with humility and appreciation. Perhaps you would like to join me now in saying the following prayers.
 
The Lord's Prayer 
 
OUR Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next.
Amen.
 
Peace and Light Rev.Bola
