Dear friend,
The pen of inspiration tells us, “Our Heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us of which we know nothing” (The Desire of Ages, p. 330).
Consider this a wonderful opportunity to look to your Father, exercise your faith, and see what He will do for you.
We believe that if it’s God’s will, it’s His bill. And where He guides, He provides.
Please follow the steps below and see whether the Lord will open the windows of heaven and make a way for you (and your family) to attend the A29U Conference—if it is His will for you to come.
Before coming to God in prayer, take time to search your heart. Make sure there are no cherished sins in your life, and that you are not withholding forgiveness from anyone, for these things can hinder your prayers.
Ask the Lord if it is His will for you (and your family) to attend the A29U Conference. Do not ask just once—continue to ask until you are certain that God is leading you. “God does not say, Ask once, and you shall receive. He bids us ask. Unwearyingly persist in prayer. The persistent asking brings the petitioner into a more earnest attitude and gives him an increased desire to receive the things for which he asks” (Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 145).
Once you are confident that God is calling you to attend, take a step of faith and begin making practical plans. Calculate the exact amount you will need for travel, registration, housing, food, and other expenses.
Claim promises such as Matthew 7:7 and John 14:13–14, believing that He will provide. Jesus said, “And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive” (Matthew 21:22).
Ask in faith morning, noon, and evening—day after day—for the exact amount you need. But also thank God and praise Him in advance for the blessing that is coming.
Continue to PUSH—Pray Until Something Happens—or until God gives you a settled assurance that your prayers have been heard and that He is making a way. As you persevere in prayer, you will find your spiritual and faith muscles growing stronger, teaching you to trust God more fully.
FAITH is an acronym for Fantastic Adventures In Trusting Him.
May God bless you in ways you cannot ask, think, or imagine, as you step out of your comfort zone and into the FAITH zone.
