I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting men may know there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is no other. —Isaiah 45:5-6
Your ideas about God—who He is and what He is like—come naturally through your relationships with earthly authority figures. When these are distorted, so are your ideas about God.
{ PRAYER STARTER }
Father God, I know that there are things about my earthly relationships that hinder me from understanding who You are. I don’t want my ideas about You to be distorted. I commit to doing all I can to discover exactly what You are like by studying Your Word and by letting Your Spirit teach me more about You.
To achieve long-term renewal and freedom, we must
change our ideas about who God is.
