Accessible advantage – for everyone

Fortunate perspective on life is available.

Prayer discloses God's power and personality. Time with God, hearing him and knowing his heart is beneficially rewarding.

Realizing that God, the creator and owner of the universe, is bigger than any problem generates hope, regardless of any encountered situation.

Being loved beyond comprehension is the creator's attitude toward us.

David was confident in God's love when he prayed: “Answer me quickly, O Lord, my spirit fails, do not hide your face from me.” Psalm 143:7 [NIV]

Praise to God and petition of God are fervently and capably expressed by David in his depression. Hopelessness and depression over problems that had no apparent answer are discussed in the first of David's prayer in Psalm 143.

Hopeful expectation comes from continued association with God. Pleading terms like “come,” “don't turn” and “hear, O God” are in the beginning of David's prayer. Progression is observed with terms such as “save me,” “teach me” and “lead me, O God” – being stated by David.

Recognition that God can be trusted to solve his problem has been grasped.

A significant finale heightened David's closing words that speak of God's unfailing care and love. As his prayer is concluded, David confidently announces, “I am your servant.” Being God's servant means unlimited access to God's assured supply. What an ADVANTAGE!
