OPENING MESSAGE | EVEN IF | PS SIMON SCHEMBRI | 8|2|26

Ps Simon today teaches that 'Even If' our prayers aren’t answered the way we hoped, God remains sovereign, present, and faithful. Scripture reminds us that God’s timing, wisdom, and purposes are greater than our understanding. Trusting Him doesn’t mean pretending we’re not hurting; it means bringing our honest pain, disappointments and questions to the One who sees, cares, and holds all things. In the middle of trials, God is right there with us—walking, comforting, and sustaining. His presence doesn’t erase hardship, but it transforms it: we are not alone in the struggle, and our suffering is never outside His knowledge or love. Remember that faithfulness isn’t measured only by deliverance from difficulty but by God’s steady, unchanging character through it. See Daniel 3:16 - 28 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17 If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. 18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.” God met them 'in the middle' of the fire and delivered them from death. Honouring and praising God in tough times is an act of trust and worship. It shifts our focus from our situation to God’s goodness and strength. Praise doesn’t deny pain; it testifies that God is worthy even when outcomes differ from our prayers. We are encouraged to hold fast to the truth that unanswered prayers aren’t evidence of God’s absence but opportunities to deepen dependence and trust in Him. #jesus #faith #message #trust #love #god https://www.thearkchurch.com.au/ ‪@thearkchurchcoomera‬
