00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:07.919
<v SPEAKER_00>Let's begin by closing our eyes.

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:14.160
<v SPEAKER_00>Place whatever is in your hands to the side and invite God into this moment.

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:19.199
<v SPEAKER_00>Father, this space belongs to you.

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.160
<v SPEAKER_00>Be with me in these moments.

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:26.160
<v SPEAKER_00>Speak to me and remind me of your goodness.

00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:35.520
<v SPEAKER_00>God's nature as Father is good, consistently, faithfully, and completely good.

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:42.399
<v SPEAKER_00>He is not unpredictable or withholding, but rather he is generous and kind.

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:48.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Even when life feels uncertain, his heart toward you does not change.

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.640
<v SPEAKER_00>You can trust that he gives you what is good.

00:00:53.520 --> 00:01:01.600
<v SPEAKER_00>Matthew 7.11 says, How much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts?

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.120
<v SPEAKER_00>Can you think of a time that God has been good?

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:14.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Pause for a moment and begin to thank God for his goodness and generosity toward you.

00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:19.439
<v SPEAKER_00>Think back on the ways he has provided for you in your life.

00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:44.079
<v SPEAKER_00>For the next minute, tell God where you've questioned his goodness.

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Maybe it is hard to remember a time you felt that he was good.

00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:54.400
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask him to restore your trust in his heart as a father.

00:01:54.959 --> 00:02:00.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Invite him to help you receive what he gives without fear or doubt.

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.560
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask him to align your expectations with his truth.

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.439
<v SPEAKER_00>Let gratitude begin to rise in your heart.

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.400
<v SPEAKER_00>How does that affect your day?

00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.879
<v SPEAKER_00>Take several moments to pray for them in that situation.

00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:31.120
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.
