   (Philippians 4:6; Matthew 7:7–8)
   Pastor Chris recounts a season early in his marriage when his family needed to sell a car before the insurance payment came due. With no human solution in sight, he and his wife committed the situation to God in prayer rather than giving in to anxiety.
2. Pray with Confidence in God's Promises
   (John 14:13–14; John 15:7; 1 John 5:14–15; Mark 11:24; Matthew 18:19–20; 1 John 3:21–22)
   The message explores several passages that encourage believers to pray confidently in Jesus' name while seeking God's will. Rather than treating prayer as wishful thinking, these Scriptures point to trusting God's character, remaining close to Him, and bringing requests before Him in faith.
3. Trust God's Timing
   (Philippians 4:6–7)
   Although the deadline appeared to pass without an answer, the prayer was answered just before the opportunity was gone. This testimony reminds listeners that God often works in ways that make His provision unmistakable, strengthening faith and bringing glory to Christ.
