Nougat 9

Today’s Holy Nougat invites us to think honestly about our expectations of Jesus when we pray, and its implications for our relationship.

“After the stone had been rolled aside, Jesus looked up toward heaven and prayed, “Father, I thank you for answering my prayer.” ‭‭John‬ ‭11‬:‭41‬ ‭CEV‬‬

Please prayerfully ponder the questions below

Do we believe that God answers ALL prayers?

How has God answered our prayers recently? Have there been mostly Yes, Wait or No?

When the answer is No for something we consider important, what is our response to God? How does our response to God’s No compare with our response to someone else’s No or non-response to our requests for anything? What does that tell us about our expectations of Jesus? What does it say about our relationship?

Is there need for a shift in our relationship with Jesus?

How have these reflective questions influenced our approach to prayer in the future?

For what will we pray this day?

May all we seek be found in Christ
