21 Days of God's Goodness

DAY 12 OF 21

Good, Good Father

Being confident of the goodness of God is essential to praying prayers of faith. For many, the image of God as a good Father is difficult to believe. For those who have had an earthly father who was detached or absent or even abusive, the goodness of God may be hard to accept. Jesus however, who knows the Father intimately, always spoke of God as a good Father. Our Heavenly Father is not abusive or absent or even inattentive. In fact, Jesus taught us that our Heavenly Father is perfect in every way. Imagine the most perfect father you could ever hope for and that’s what God is, only better.

How would being confident in the goodness of God change the way you pray? 

If we see God as uncaring or unconcerned, we will pray weak prayers that are tainted by an unbiblical image of God.  When we see God as good, we will pray with sincere confidence and faith, believing that we are praying to a good Father; a Father who is interested, a Father who is caring, a Father who is on our side.
