Have you ever talked to God honestly like you would a friend? The good news is...we can 100% go to God with all our doubts, questions, and even brutally honest thoughts. He can handle it. But most importantly, He wants to hear from us.

Just like in any other conversation or relationship, it is important to know who we are talking to and vice versa. The same goes for our relationship with Jesus. He deeply desires for us to know Him because He already knows us!

We're here today because Jesus surrendered his will to the will of God. He was willing to say Your kingdom come, Your will be done. That's why we're even here in the first place is because somehow Jesus knew that he could trust God over himself.

I need forgiveness but what Jesus is saying is forgiveness comes with a condition. I can have it as much as I want it, but I have to give it. And I need to forgive others, like my forgiveness depends on it.

God gives us grace in various forms. And so we want to avoid temptation if we can, but we can't always. God doesn't lead us into temptation, but sometimes He allows it in our lives. It's going to happen, but He promises it will never happen at a level where we can't get out of it.
