Hearing from God Each Morning (June 27)

This blog is about today’s devotion in the book Hearing from God Each Morning by Joyce Meyer.

Today Meyer writes that we need to pray boldly for the things we need. We need to pray expecting results and having faith that God will give us what we need, instead of praying and just hoping God will answer our prayers.

She goes on to write that we are not righteous because of the things we do right, but because of what Jesus did on the cross. A lot of times, we don’t feel worthy of the things we ask God for, so we don’t really expect Him to answer our prayers. Up until Thursday, that was me. I didn’t feel like I was good enough to approach God with the things I needed. I felt impure because of both my sins and the things that happened to me last year.

But God makes us clean, and we are His sons and daughters. We can approach Him with our needs (and wants) and expect to get answers from Him. It’s not because of what we do or have done, but because of what He has done on the cross!

O praise Him!
