Thanksgiving Song & Prayer Service
November 25th 2026

Life is filled with questons. Some are easy to answer, while others keep us awake at night. What am I going to do? How will I get through this? What if the news/prognosis is bad? What if life never returns to “normal”? These and other similar questons can haunt us, stress us, take away the joy of life, and—if we are not careful—shake our faith. We can often busy ourselves enough during the day to push those questons aside,but it is in the quiet moments that they have a way of refusing to be silenced. The Bible is filled with questions: good & bad questions, honest & dishonest questions, questions from good & wicked people. There are questions from humans to God & questions from God to humans (and sometimes to all mankind generally). When God called Moses to lead Israel out of their Egyptian bondage (Exodus 3:1-4:17), Moses had questions! His very first question was, “Who am I?” (Exodus 3:11). Many can relate to Moses’ question, as he felt wholly inadequate & unqualified for the task God was calling him to do. But God’s answer pointed Moses to something far greater than his own personal skills or qualifications, saying, “I will certainly be with you” (v. 12). Moses’ next question was a valid one: “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel & say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ & they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” (v. 13). God’s answer to Moses was, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you’” (v. 14). Knowing the God who spoke to Moses changes how we face life’s troubling & perplexing questions. Who is going to stand with me when my life falls apart? THE I AM. Friends & loved ones often struggle to know what to do or the right words to say to offer comfort. But God is not helpless when our circumstances feel overwhelming. On the contrary, “God is our refuge & strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). God does not promise a life free from troubles—but He does promise to be our help in them when they come. Who is going to make sure good ultimately prevails over evil? THE I AM. Wickedness often appears to be “winning the battle,” & we are tempted to think it vain to follow God faithfully. But we can know: God will judge the world in righteousness (Acts 17:31). No sin is unknown to Him (Hebrews 4:13), & no power can overturn His judgment. Truly, “the Lord God Omnipotent reigns” Revelation 19:6). Who is going to help me when I don’t know what to do? THE I AM. Human nature is to want to see the entire plan laid out before us, but God calls us to trust Him enough to “walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). He invites us to seek Him & ask Him for wisdom (James 1:5), & His Word is light to guide the way (Psalm 119:105). We may not know what tomorrow holds, but we can know Who holds tomorrow & follow Him faithfully, knowing He is in control & will lead us toward what is best. Who understands what I can’t seem to figure out in my life? THE I AM. Life is filled with situations we cannot explain & questions we cannot answer. True faith is not pretending to know everything. But our inability to understand does not mean God is not in control—“His understanding is infinite” (Psalm 147:5). We can trust His wisdom & care even when we cannot yet see His purpose. Moses began by asking, “Who am I?” God’s answer directed his attention to Who would be with him. We need that same reminder today. Our confidence rests in God’s strength, wisdom, & faithfulness. We may not have every answer to every question, but we can know the God whose understanding is infinite. When life’s questions seem overwhelming, keep trusting, keep obeying, & keep walking with the Great I AM. (To be concluded next week…)
