WEEK 2 — God Our Father

Session 2.1 — God Cares for His Children
Read: Psalm 103:13
In Psalm 103:13, we see that God acts toward His children with compassion, like a father who shows love and care for his children. Just as parents care for their children’s needs, protect them, and guide them with love, God does the same for us. His compassion helps us trust that He will take care of us, especially in times of trouble or uncertainty. Today, let’s show compassion to someone, reflecting God’s loving care for us.

Session 2.2 — God Hears Us
Read: Psalm 34:15
Psalm 34:15 assures us that when we pray, God listens to us. Prayer is important because it is our way of communicating with our Heavenly Father, who is always attentive to our needs and concerns. God’s ear is always open to us, and we can bring anything to Him in prayer. Today, let’s pray about one real need, knowing that God hears us and cares for us deeply.

Session 2.3 — God Knows Our Needs
Read: Matthew 6:31–32
In Matthew 6:31–32, Jesus reminds us not to worry about our basic needs because our Heavenly Father knows what we need before we ask Him. God cares for us and promises to provide for us just as He cares for the birds and flowers. Knowing that God is aware of and provides for our needs helps us rest in His care and trust Him with our worries. Today, let’s thank God for one thing He provides, recognizing His faithfulness in meeting our needs.

Session 2.4 — God Is a Good Father
Read: Matthew 7:11
In Matthew 7:11, Jesus teaches that if imperfect parents know how to give good gifts to their children, how much more will our perfect Heavenly Father give good things to those who ask Him? God is a good Father who desires to bless His children, and His gifts are always good for us. This truth should shape the way we pray, knowing that God’s heart is for our well-being and He always gives us what we need. Today, let’s ask God for help with something, trusting that He will give us what is good.

Session 2.5 — We Belong to God
Read: Romans 8:15
Romans 8:15 tells us that as believers, we are God’s children and can call Him “Abba, Father,” which means a close and loving relationship with our Heavenly Father. This brings comfort because we know that we are loved, accepted, and cared for by God, who has adopted us into His family. Today, let’s thank God for making us His children, offering our hearts in gratitude for His love and care.
