Jesus described the measure and quality of His love for them as a love that treats servants as friends.

In the relationship between a disciple and his rabbi of that time, it wasn’t expected to be a friendship. Yet Jesus the rabbi called His disciples, His servants friends.

Wherever God leaves life, He leaves hope.

Each dawning day gives mankind hope in fresh mercies and compassions from God. We need a constant supply and God has promised to send them without fail. No matter how bad the past day was, God’s people can look to the new morning with faith and hope.

SHALOM!

This is a command, not an option.
Paul wrote that everything is the proper subject of prayer. There are not some areas of our lives that are of no concern to God.

Prayer is a broader word that can mean all of our communication with God, but supplication directly asks God to do something. God already knows our requests before we pray them; yet He will often wait for our participation through prayer before granting that which we request.

We really can be anxious for nothing, pray about everything, and be thankful for anything.
