Speaker 1:

The Father's Business was founded by Sylvia Gunter to encourage people to a deeper relationship with God. Thank you for listening to this devotional. Have you ever been so burdened by a problem that you say I just don't even know what to pray? When the circumstances of life seem too big or complex to comprehend, shift your focus to who God is by praying God's character. So, for whatever circumstances each of us finds ourselves in, we're going to agree to believe and proclaim the truth of who God is.

Speaker 1:

God is sovereign. All authority and all power is his. Nothing takes God by surprise. All circumstances serve him. God knows the end from the beginning. His word is forever settled.

Speaker 1:

God does all things for our good and his glory to conform us to be like Jesus. The blood of Jesus covers all circumstances, people, places and times. The one who did not spare his own son will freely give us all of his best. God is for us and nothing can separate us from his love that was settled on the cross, and no one can take that away from you. God's loving kindness never ceases. His compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is his faithfulness.

Speaker 1:

God supplies all our needs by his riches in Christ Jesus. God knows and God cares, the very hairs of our head are numbered. He is God of all comfort and Father of mercies. God is able to supply his abundant grace to us so that in all things, at all times, we have all his sufficient grace we need for strength, encouragement and hope. God is able to show his perfect power in our weakness. We can know with certainty that he is able to guard what we have entrusted to him. Certainty that he is able to guard what we have entrusted to him. God is our strength, our shield, our strong tower, our refuge, our hope, our joy, our peace, our all. God renews our strength as we wait on him.

Speaker 1:

God promises that he never leaves us nor forsakes us. He is with us, a very present help in times of trouble. God never goes back on a promise. He has a heart that tears can touch and invites us to climb up in the Father's lap and cry. God gives gladness instead of mourning, and praise instead of fainting. Weeping endures for a night, but he gives joy that comes in the morning. God is enthroned on the praises of his children. God is enthroned on the praises of his children. When we lift God up continually in a sacrifice of praise, we glorify him in this situation, in the here and now, and so we pray, father, glorify yourself this hour, hour.
