Trust

This week sees possibly the most challenging aspect of Prayer. Trusting God for the answer! We are perhaps more comfortable with actions that we can have responsibility for, trust takes away our control. But what an example of trust David was, as a shepherd he had faced very difficult situations, and was quick to acknowledge that it was God who had seen him through these trials. This knowledge that he could trust God served him well when he met Goliath. Davis was also the writer of many psalms including Psalm 23, which indicates his trust in God.

Honour

Well this week we were all together again for a Praise Party. It was a challenge to present what it means to Honour God. Not in the material things that we can offe, but with the attitude of our hearts. We identified 3 key elements.
1) Respect- The god who made the universe, how awesome is that, we must remeber and respect the awesomeness that God represents.
2) Pride - to remember in positive and pleased way that the same God, takes an interest in each of us as individuals.
3) Honesty - afterall if God made the whole universe, and knows us better than we know ourselves, how can we think we can deceive Him?

psalm 51

This week we looked at an important part of prayer. The fact that we all get it wrong sometimes, and need to say sorry to others as well as remembering to say sorry to God.
