Life is difficult — our life is a valley of tears. And the ability to remain in faith, hope, and love with God as Father is impossible if we do it ourselves. If we want to be able to experience God’s closeness and his presence and to cry out “Abba, Father” in the midst of our darkness, difficulties, crucifixions, sufferings and loss, we need grace to do it. With the help of the Holy Spirit we can the Lord for greater commitment and resolve to receive and to stay in grace at all times.
This episode is the fourth part of a series on Hungry For God by Dr. Ralph Martin which talks about how we persevere to be in relationship with God the Father in the midst of these lived experiences and provide some amazing insights on how we stay where the grace is.

“Who Is God” and “Who am I?” This is what we’re attempting to answer when we talk about living in the proper order of relationship, identity, and mission. We are living in a time where we’re going through an identity crisis. In the very foundation, a lot of us are forgetting who we are. We forget that we are sons and daughters…

Humility, Obedience, and Prayer
Humility is a lowliness — not for its own sake but rather a proper understanding of who we are and who we are not. It’s a place where you know more about what everybody is saying in a room but doesn’t always have to say anything or don’t need to be someone who wants to seem smarter than everybody else.

Father of Mercies
Do you trust God’s mercy? We are invited to bring to light those things that we are keeping in the dark and tough and trust that God, in his mercy, will love and care for us there.
