Trusting your heavenly Father is not that difficult
The GoodNight prayer expresses simple, child-like
faith, because we have a loving heavenly Father
who, with great love and compassion, looks for and
longs for our call.
The truth is, God delights in doing good things
for His people! His desire is to show He is
trustworthy, loving and compassionate.
He has promised that He would help us to live the
Christian life, because he would send His Holy Spirit
to help us. He knows the temptations and testings
we will face, yet He assures us that in a spiritual
sense not a hair of our heads will go missing, but
that He will see us through to heaven.
So you also can put your trust in Him, in the same
childlike way:
"Lord
Jesus, I need you;
I recognize my inadequacy,
and to the
extent that I recognize my powerlessness,
I put my trust in you,
the righteous, just, loving and all-powerful one
who formed me
in my Mother's womb,
and who died for my sins,
knowing each
and every one of them
before I had ever committed one of
them.
"What an AWESOME thought,
that you would die for me,
who deserved to die,
that I might live.
"In ADDITION to
all this,
You sent your Holy Spirit
to baptize me with
power,
that I might be able to gain victory
over my sin,
over
sickness
and over bondage,
and that I might be able to share
this same person
and this same power with others."
