Episode Synopsis

What's your response after God finally answers your prayer?

Most of the time this is how we respond

clinging to and idolizing the thing we have received
finding our hope, security, confidence, strength, joy, etc in the thing rather than in God.


This is not how we are to respond after God finally answers our prayer. Hannah models to us what we should do in (1 Samuel 1:27-28)

Hannah clung to the fact that God HEARD her. Because she felt heard by God it gave her peace and joy while giving the thing she had asked for, received and now giving it back to God with joy.
Ask the person you are discipling: What is an attribute or promise of God that you need to cling to in order to have peace and trust in God when you receive the thing you are asking for and giving it back to the Lord?
With the thing you are asking God for, will you give it back to God?

What would this look like for you?
If you are struggling to do this, ask the Spirit to help you.
