Topic: He Cares About Your Needs [Open Heavens for Teens 8 May 2019]
Memorise: “Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?” – Matthew 6:26
Read: Matthew 6:9-11
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
Bible In One Year: 1 Kings 16-18, John 1:29-51
MESSAGE:
Though God is a spirit, He is not only interested in our spiritual welfare but also the secular. In other words, He is interested in what we eat, wear and how we live (John 21:3-12; 1 Kings 19:4-8).
You are worth far more than birds to God. If he cares and feeds the birds daily, surely, He cares about you and will take care of you. He knows your needs. He knows the good things of life that you crave, and He will not let you lack them when the time is right (Psalm 34:10). He knows you need food, shelter, transportation, good clothes, a nice phone and other good things. He will give them to you. He knows what you are passing through right now and will make things better soon. Be encouraged, He loves you.
Action Point: Call on Him today and freely talk to Him about all that you are going through. Ask Him for help.

Hymn 10:
1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a Friend so faithful?
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield You;
You wilt find a solace there.
