061 // Believing God instead of begging Him. One tip to start taking God at His Word.

Somewhere along the way, I picked up the notion that I needed to beg God over and over and over again. That I needed to plead my cause, that I needed to keep coming to him with my requests. 

 

One day, God’s spirit whispered into me that I was praying out of fear and that I was wasting my efforts on begging God to do something He already promised to do.

 

He began showing me that I didn’t have to beg Him to keep his promises. He is a promise keeper!

 

And he began showing me that my prayer life needed to shift into a time of being honest with my emotions about His spiritual promises not lining up with what I could see with my physical eyes. He began showing me that I needed to offer my fears and lack of trust and concerns and worries to him so he could take my weak faith and grow it into a more solid faith in his abilities to do all he has said he would do. 

 

Be encouraged today with one, maybe two tips on how to start taking God at His Word so you can exhale anxiety and inhale peace!
