God Of CreationSample

Prayer: God, you know what I need, and you’ve promised to provide as only a perfect Father can. I want to trust you even when life seems to be spinning out of control. I want to trust you even when I can’t see my next steps. I want to trust you, because I know you consistently use the faith of individuals to accomplish incredible works. 

Invite Him to Shape You 

Though God shaped us and knows us better than we know ourselves, He  wants us to still approach Him in prayer and express the longings of our hearts. The Bible says that God now dwells within every believer by means of the Holy Spirit, and we have the opportunity to communicate with our God at any point! God not only gave us His indwelling presence to be with us, but also to transform us from the inside out into who we were made to be. 

Before humanity rebelled against God, we were made to partner with Him and watch over his creation. But now God promises a future where evil will be wiped away, and we will be given a new creation to oversee. Today, we have the Holy Spirit creating a piece of that new creation within us, which transforms our hearts and minds to live out the life that God desires. Who we want to be and who we were created to be become the same when we let the Spirit work in and through us. 

Questions to Ask Yourself:

1. How often do you talk with God in prayer? When could you regularly set aside time to speak with Him?
2. Where do you see yourself departing from God’s desire for your life? Who could hold you accountable to pursuing His plan above your own?
