罗马书 8:26

This plan will look at how the Bible tells us that God is working out all things for those who love Him and how grief and loss do not have the final word; God does.

Prayer can sometimes seem lonely. Often, in prayer, I try to quiet my heart and soul, and my mind races everywhere. Sometimes I just fall asleep. There are times when it feels like my prayers bounce off the ceiling. What we often don’t realize, however, is that the Lord offers us good news right in these places. Let’s spend some time considering the good news about prayer.

Suffering can be perplexing. God’s people—and even Jesus himself—have often asked the “Why?” question when facing suffering. Scripture pulls back the curtain to reveal some, though not all, of God’s purposes in permitting suffering to enter our lives. Through it all, we are called to persevere faithfully, resting in the assurance of ultimate victory and eternal reward.

Many of us want to have a closer relationship with God, but we don’t know where to start. When other people suggest prayer, it feels too formal, intimidating, or ineffectual. This plan will help readers know God more intimately and experience the power of prayer as each day gives tangible examples of how to have more meaningful conversations with God.
