GOD HAS A STORY TO TELL US

Proverbs 15:8 The Lord ……He delights in the prayers of the upright.

This verse caught my attention the other day and I thought how wonderful to know God is delighted when we pray.😊

His arms are open wide to welcome us. He tells us to come to Him with praise and thanksgiving which is a great way to begin because it takes our minds off ourselves and focuses our hearts and minds on the One who holds everything together. He encourages us to come to His throne with confident boldness, to pray big prayers and know nothing is too hard or impossible with Him no matter what it looks like.

God is delighted when we pray! He’s listening! It’s a bit like when a child is invited to come and sit up on his father’s knee; his father wraps his arms around him, and he’s delighted to hear all the exploits the child has been getting up to and sometimes he tells him a story.  Perhaps God wants to tell us a story too, the story He has planned for our lives.😊

If we can just hold the thought in our heads that God is delighted when we go and talk with Him it will be a big encouragement. God wants to hear what we, His children have to say, and to allow Him input into how we’re thinking so our minds can be renewed where they need to be, to gain His great wisdom and insight into our daily affairs, to know He will rescue us if we need rescuing.

Psalm 18:18-19 They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress, but the Lord supported me. He led me to a place of safety, he rescued me because he delights in me.

God delights in you! Why not go to Him and let Him tell you a story, the story of Jesus and His love and the story of what He has planned for you too. 😊
