40 Days...Day 37

Good Morning Church,
Today is day 37 on our 40 day journey to bring ourselves closer to God. Today’s text is found in John 16:23-28

John 16:23-28

23"In that day you will not question Me about anything Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. 24"Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.
25"These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.
26"In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; 27for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father. 28"I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father."


Boldness in prayer, it should be something that we do on a regular basis, but do we? If not, then the question should be, why not? Jesus has given us the instructions to be bold and pray “asking the Father in Him name” on many occasions. How well do we trust Jesus, or do we lean on what we have been taught and our traditions?
Step out of the rut and truly believe in God and make a bold request of the Father. It is not testing God it is simple following God’s desire for our lives.

God bless you today as you are praying.
