He's A Good, Good Father

"For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you"- Isaiah 41:13 (NIV).

The Lord cannot lie. He is holy. "God is not human, that He should lie, not a human being, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?" (Numbers 23:19). It may seem your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling, or that God is too busy with the problems of this world to hear your solitary prayer; lest you have forgotten: He is all powerful and all knowing. He has heard your prayer and holds your right hand. He will help you. He doesn't say, 'I'll see what I can do.' He can do all things; impossible things become possible. Nothing you could pray about is too trivial for Him; He is your Heavenly Father. "Ask and it will be given to you...which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead...how much more will your Father in heaven give" (Luke 11:9-13). With all these promises, and the knowledge that the Lord cannot lie, we should feel free to talk to God about any and everything and then trust Him for an answer. Honor the Lord in your words and actions; one of which is to trust Him and not be afraid to set your prayers before Him.
