Jesus looks at us with tender love and wants us to approach Him, trusting Him and allowing ourselves to admit our vulnerability with needs we cannot necessarily meet. (Matthew 18:3 ...become as little children ...)

How easy it is to misinterpret and misunderstand God and others. Isaiah 55:8-9 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my way, declares the Lord".

Peter was set free from prison after much prayer had been given up for him but those who prayed did not at first believe Peter had indeed been set free (Acts 12). How often do we not really believe God will answer our prayers?

Do we believe God for His promises. He so wants to bless us but often we don't rest on His promises. Before entering the Promised Land, many of the Israelites wept aloud with disbelief, doubt, fear and even outrage saying "Why is the Lord bringing us to this Land?... Joshua ...and Caleb ... said to the entire Israelite assembly, 'The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. If the LORD is pleased with us, He will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us". (Numbers 14:1,3,6-8)

What do we do with the revelations, with the Truths the Holy Spirit gives to us? Are they in a muddle or in effective order? The Holy Spirit brings the Truths to our remembrance (John 14:26)

There are many people who are in the dark regarding the Gospel, the Good News. Romans 10:14 And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them?

Do we remember to spend time with The Word? This is Jesus (John 1:1, 14). Psalm 119:105 - Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path".

Just like we measure and prepare a meal for those we love, so does God prepare in advance for our needs ahead.

If we so desire, Jesus will restore and refresh us

(Lamentations 3:22-23)
