Palm trees lift their heads up into the blue sky
Their faces look to heaven and unto it draw nigh
Mountains with broad shoulders hug the earth below
In shades of green and purple, the Lord made it so
Spectacular sunsets in orange, yellow and red
Kiss the evening sky good night as they tuck it in bed
Stars dot the nighttime sky like diamonds on display
The moon falls prey once more to the first light of day
Ocean waves roll in and pound the sandy shore
and then race back out again to sea once more
The earth brings forth her beauty as the seasons unfold
Each one is special when its story is told.
All nature is obedient to the Maker's plan
Only one creature rebels against it, his name is man
God in His heaven looked down upon the earth
and provided the way for sinful man to have rebirth.
Won't you join nature in the beauty of His plan
by accepting Jesus while you still can?
Next time you look at nature and marvel at what you see
Thank God that He's shown mercy and paid your penalty.

All Thou Couldst Give
How is it I was worth all you could give
That I, through thee, with our Father might live.
Through agony suffered in Gethsemane
You've given our Father's kingdom to me.
You bled and died on Calvary's hill
To seal yourself to the Father's will.
While heavenly legions awaited your call
You silently suffered, atoning for all.
Freedom from sin you won for us then
And life eternal you brought forth again.
You shattered forever death's shackled band
By rising in ressurrection grand.
Following God, you showed us the way
To walk in your path that each of us may
Return to the presence of our heavenly Lord
And glory forever in his holy word.

We are to walk in confidence in every area. Prayer is one of the ways we can show that our confidence is in God. If we pray about things instead of worrying and trying to work them out ourselves, we say by our actions, "Lord, I trust You in this situation."
I believe many of us pray and then wonder if God heard. We wonder if we prayed properly or long enough. We wonder if we used the right phrases, enough Scripture, etc. We cannot pray properly with doubt and unbelief. We must pray with faith.
God has been encouraging me to realize that simple faith-filled prayer gets the job done. I don't have to repeat things over and over. He hears me the first time. I don't need to get fancy in my wording. I can just be me and know that He hears me and understands.
We should simply present our request and believe that God has heard us and will answer at the right time.
Have confidence in your prayers. Believe God hears even simple, childlike prayer coming from a sincere heart.
A Prayer for Today
God, we thank You that You hear us when we pray. We believe we have the petitions we request of You. In Jesus' name, amen.
