What if your everyday needs were not too small to bring before God? In this week’s teaching, Simone invites us into a richer understanding of petition—not just as a formal request, but as an ongoing act of trust, relationship, and dependency. Grounded in the words of Jesus, “Give us today our daily bread,” we explore how asking God for both the basic and the bold things cultivates intimacy and shapes us into people of gratitude and faith.
From childhood prayers to dolphin sightings in seasons of grief, this sermon reminds us that nothing is off-limits in the conversation with God. Petition is not only about getting an answer—it’s about growing a relationship. And it starts with the audacity to ask.
