Pray

God is God. God made everything, the whole universe. The universe of universes. God is a mighty God.

God cares deeply for us. When we call him, he listens and answers us.

  • We are his children, and he is in a good mood.
  • He wants us to know amazing things.

Yes, God is God, great and good. All the time.

Thus says Yahweh [the Lord] who made the earth, Yahweh who formed it to establish it—Yahweh is his name: Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known

ESV (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Jeremiah 33:2–3

God is faithful and God is good. God will hear our prayers when we call to him. God will answer. There is no doubt about that. We can take it to the bank. We need to come in humility. God doesn’t owe us anything.
