Hope in Action/Real Life
You are not trying to get God's attention. You already have it.
Prayer
If prayer has felt like leaving voicemails for a distant boss, no wonder you got tired. Jesus did not teach His friends to perform. He taught them to talk to a Father who already knows, already cares, and already provided.
Pray as a child, not as a beggar
Jesus began with “Our Father.” That is the whole atmosphere of New Covenant prayer. You are not trying to twist God’s arm. You are agreeing with what He has already said in His Word.
Faith comes by hearing, and prayer that works is prayer that prays the Word — not because God forgot, but because you are taking your place in a finished work.
“In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.”
Matthew 6:9 (NKJV)
Be specific, be thankful, be persistent
Philippians 4 says be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known. Anxiety shrinks when requests are actually voiced to God.
If you do not know where to start, start honest. Then open the Word and pray it back. We will pray with you at C418 — Saturday, after service, or through a prayer request this week.
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”
Philippians 4:6 (NKJV)
You do not have to figure this out alone
Come sit with people who are living this out.
Church Four Eighteen is a family in Titusville learning to receive what Jesus already finished — and to put hope in action. Saturdays at 5:00 PM. Kids are welcome. Come as you are.
