Wait for it, wait for it…
Learning to Trust
Scripture Memory Verse:
“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
-Luke 11:11-13 NIV
Life Work Assignments:
1.) Make a list of some things you have recently cried out “But I want it!!” to God. That is, what are some of the things you have wanted God to give you?
2.) Think about times when you prayed for things and God said no or not now because He had something better in store. Make two columns. In the first write “What I wanted” and in the second write “What I Got.” Then, list the things you asked for and what God eventually gave you instead. When you are feeling impatient or are lacking trust in God’s plan, reflect on those things
3.) Start looking at whether or not in your heart of hearts you trust God and that He has your ultimate good in store for you. If you find that you don’t truly trust Him, work that out with Him this week during your prayer time. Ask Him to increase your trust.
4.) Go to http://www.biblegateway.com/ and search the word “Trust”. Look at some Bible verses and stories that deal with trusting God. Make a box of 3x5 cards with verses on trust that you can refer to at times when you find yourself lacking trust.
