Confidence in Prayer: Trusting God’s Will

Cindy Dawson

Quote of the Week for Friday, 9/18/26


“The content of all true prayer originates in the heart of God. So it is He who inspires the prayer in the heart of man.” Paul E. Billheimer

Prayer is not about convincing God, but about the desire to pray according to God’s will and trusting Him to guide you.

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.  And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.” 1 John 5:14-15 NIV

In His Love, Cindy

Perfect Trust in God

Cindy Dawson

Quote of the Week for Wednesday, 12/3/25

Jesus modeled perfect trust when He prayed, 

“Not My will, but Yours be done” Luke 22:42, NASB

“This was not resignation but confidence in the Father’s wisdom. Such trust becomes the hallmark of those who know Him, a settled peace that transcends circumstance and a gratitude that endures through trial.
To know the Father is to find rest in His unchanging nature,to rely on His faithfulness even when His purposes remain unseen.” (emphasis mine)

Embracing Gratitude

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Thursday, November 27, 2025

“Rejoice always,  pray continually,  give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

My thoughts: Mourning for what we have lost will not bring joy, but being thankful every day for all that we do have will bring us joy!

Have a happy and joyful Thanksgiving!

In His Love, Cindy

Are We Willing to Put Truth Before Consequences?

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotional for Monday, 7/28/25

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2 (emphasis mine)

“It’s costly to be faithful. The early Church feared heresay more than it feared martyrdom. Faithfulness brings difficulty….. May God help us in these sad and bewildering times to be men and women who follow the Lord wherever He would go, who put truth first, who refuse to conform to the times.”

The Power of Faith Within God’s Will

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read Monday’s Verse, 2/10/25

Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” Matthew 21:21-22 NIV. Read full chapter

This is one of those verses Christians sometimes take out of context and misapply. It is an example of how we must consider the whole counsel of God’s Word.

“Nowhere in Scripture does anyone throw a mountain … into the sea through a faith-filled prayer. Why not? Because God has never willed anyone to pray such a thing. God loves for His children to accomplish great things through prayer, but only when it is within His purpose.” Jeremiah Study Bible Notes

The Assurance of Knowing God

Monday’s Verse, 1/20/25

“We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.” 1 John 2:3-6 NIV Read full chapter

Note: There is only one way of proving to ourselves that we know God, and that is by loving obedience to His will. (Cambridge Bible)
