God wants us to know, rejoice and trust in His resurrection power - a power that is already at work in those who believe.

Prayer imparts spiritual vision so as to believe for and rejoice in our future hope. 

Do we understand that persistence - to ‘keep asking’ - is vital if we are to see more of the work of God? 

We are called to faithfully give thanks and pray into the work that God is doing. 

The Holy Spirit Himself is God’s seal and guarantee that we belong to Him eternally. 

We are chosen in order to praise and be for the praise of His glory. 

God has chosen and predestined us to share in His eternal inheritance of peace and glory.

The wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives leads us into an understanding of the mystery of God’s will. 

Are we being filled with God’s lavish grace and His wisdom or are we being filled with things that rob us of joy and wisdom? 

Recently, we looked at how Daniel prayed — and today, we revisit his very helpful example.

Today, we ask: How can we learn to pray more effectively?

Today, we reflect on how prayer is the key to fruitfulness because prayer connects us to Jesus.

Today, we reflect on why prayer is powerful and why should we be faithful in prayer?

What is prayer? To answer this we must reflect on the purpose for which God created mankind. 

Yesterday, we looked at the astonishing truth that, according to God’s love and pleasure, we have been adopted into His family - He is our Father, and we have an eternal inheritance! Today, in this final reflection on these verses, we return to the theme of praise.

Today, we are reflecting on the blessing of adoption; to love God, and to be able to call Him “Father,” is only possible because we have been adopted into His family through Jesus Christ.

In our last study, we saw how God has made us holy and blameless in His sight; today, let’s see that a crucial part of being holy and blameless is that we grow in love - for God and others.

Yesterday, we reflected on the wonder of being chosen by God. Today, we turn to the incredible purpose of that choice: that we should be holy and blameless in His sight.

Our richly blessed condition is because God chose us.

Do we know that God wants to teach us about, and will give us the resources to live with, overflowing praise?
