CONTENTS
PART ONE
YOUR VERY PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
PART TWO
GODS PROMISES WHEN YOU ARE IN NEED
PART THREE
YOUR PRAYERS GODS ANSWERS
When you trusted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, you became a member of Gods family. You are His child now, through faith in Jesus (Galatians 3:26), and you are His special concern. You are also an inheritor of many wonderful promises. This booklet draws together great truths from the Old and the New Testament truths that help you understand better Gods commitment to you as His child.
There are three sections in this booklet, and in each section the verses are in random order, to avoid suggesting that a pattern of thought or teaching is being presented. The basic concept of this booklet is that Scripture provides a variety of insights for our particular needs, and that these insights should be allowed to stand on their own.
The first section in this booklet, Your Very Personal Relationship With God, is filled with wonderful truths, truths containing promises that are now yours in Christ. When you feel uncertain, turn to this section and be refreshed by Gods great love.
Gods Promises When You Are in Need contains truths that speak to special needs. Perhaps you feel lonely, or discouraged. Perhaps youre sick, or nervous. Whatever your need, check the table of contents to find the page that shows you that God does care, and that He will care for you.
Your Prayers Gods Answers is filled with prayers uttered by Old and New Testament people and Gods answers to their prayers. Prayer is one of your privileges as a member of Gods family. You can share everything with God and be confident that He hears. This section will help you to express your feelings to God, and it will give you the assurance that God will answer you.
PART ONE
YOUR VERY PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
