SPEAKER_00: Let's begin by closing our eyes.
SPEAKER_00: Place whatever is in your hands to the side and invite God into this moment.
SPEAKER_00: Father, this space belongs to you.
SPEAKER_00: Be with me in these moments.
SPEAKER_00: Speak to me and remind me of your goodness.
SPEAKER_00: God's nature as Father is good, consistently, faithfully, and completely good.
SPEAKER_00: He is not unpredictable or withholding, but rather he is generous and kind.
SPEAKER_00: Even when life feels uncertain, his heart toward you does not change.
SPEAKER_00: You can trust that he gives you what is good.
SPEAKER_00: Matthew 7.11 says, How much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts?
SPEAKER_00: Can you think of a time that God has been good?
SPEAKER_00: Pause for a moment and begin to thank God for his goodness and generosity toward you.
SPEAKER_00: Think back on the ways he has provided for you in your life.
SPEAKER_00: For the next minute, tell God where you've questioned his goodness.
SPEAKER_00: Maybe it is hard to remember a time you felt that he was good.
SPEAKER_00: Ask him to restore your trust in his heart as a father.
SPEAKER_00: Invite him to help you receive what he gives without fear or doubt.
SPEAKER_00: Ask him to align your expectations with his truth.
SPEAKER_00: Let gratitude begin to rise in your heart.
SPEAKER_00: How does that affect your day?
SPEAKER_00: Take several moments to pray for them in that situation.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
