Prayer
Listen for the repeated word in the Bible verses.
1. Do I trust in the Lord even in the midst of difficult situations?
2. Do I believe God hears me when I cry out to Him?
3. Do my words reflect the God that I claim to know and follow?Ezekiel 2:6-8 NIV
”And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or be terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people. You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious. But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious people; open your mouth and eat what I give you.”“
1. Do I trust in the Lord even in the midst of difficult situations?
Psalms 5:1-3 NIV
”Listen to my words, Lord, consider my lament. Hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.“
2. Do I believe God hears me when I cry out to Him?
James 1:19-21 NIV
”My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.“
3. Do my words reflect the God that I claim to know and follow?
