    In the story of Jesus' ascension, God reminds us to leave God's work to God (including our worry), to trust God's power to guide our witness, and to be prepared for Jesus' return.

    Jesus' meat (food) was to do the will of God. Today we have a famine of the will of God, but the Lord has prepared a feast, if we will but be obedient.

    Two Revealing Prayers Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 28, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,637 views

    This passage records two prayers, in which are shown two kinds of hearts, whose contrast is not only seen in the way they make their requests, but also in the way they approach God. Some people trust in themselves; others trust in God.
