• To take the time to seek God’s guidance in all matters for He in not interested in speed, but obedience

To Think About: Let us focus on the majesty and power of our Father, the one who created all things and has never failed to take care of us in the past, is continually with us in the present and will continue to love us into heaven in the future.  “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.  Matthew 7:7-8 NLT  God promises to answer our prayers – we must remember to ask and wait for Him to answer according to His will.

思考：讓我們注目於天父上帝的威嚴和大能，他創造萬物、從前一直看顧我們，現在仍然與我們同在，並將持續愛我們，直到將來我們進入天國。你們祈求，就給你們；尋找，就尋見；叩門，就給你們開門。因為凡祈求的，就得著；尋找的，就尋見；叩門的，就給他開門。（馬太福音7:7-8）。上帝承諾回答我們的禱告——我們必須要求問、等待，等待他按照他的心意回答我們的禱告 。
