Who is the Lord?

Pharaoh did not want to let God’s people go. He said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice (Exodus 5:2).”

Who is the Lord? He is God Almighty (from Exodus 6:2-3).

A Just, Fair, and Faithful God

He is the Rock; his deeds are perfect.
Everything he does is just and fair.
He is a faithful God who does no wrong (Deuteronomy 32:4).

You can trust God, even when his answers to your prayers don’t make sense.

Jesus, my Savior.

Jesus is my Savior. I hope He is your Savior too.

If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9).

 

My Friend Jesus

Don’t face trouble or sorrow alone.

Take it to the Lord in prayer;
in his arms he’ll take and shield you,
you will find a solace there.*

Jesus has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows (Isaiah 53:4).
The Lord is my steadfast love . . . my shield (Psalm 144:2).

A Light in the Dark

Pray because “God is light, and in him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5).”Pray because “The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it (John 1:5).”

How to pray to the King

With his sword unsheathed and his armor in place, he went directly to the King with the stain of battle still on his garments.*

His sword of the Spirit is the Word of God and his armor is salvation, truth, righteousness, and faith (see Ephesians 6:13-17).

Worship His Majesty

“O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth” (Psalm 8:1).

No matter how hard we try, words cannot accurately describe God. His awe-inspiring grandeur, magnificent might and impressive beauty are worthy of our highest praise.

Remember that when you pray.

The Affections of a Father

I’m watching, first hand, the fierce love of a first time father for his helpless baby boy.

I’m reminded “How great is the love that Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God” (I John 3:1).

We pray to a Father whose love is limitless.

Jesus Intercedes

Job felt his need for someone to mediate between him and God, as a person mediates between friends (from Job 16:20-21).

Jesus came and met that need for us. There is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5).
