Bible Study: Praying Like Children | John 16:23–33 | I Have Overcome the World

🙏 Praying Like Children | John 16:23–33 | Trinity Lutheran Church (LCMS) – Sheboygan, WI

📖 “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) What does it mean to pray like children in a world that feels like it’s overcoming the Church? In this week’s message, we reflect on the bold truth that Jesus has overcome — even when the world feels heavy, even when tribulation surrounds us.

On the night He was betrayed, Jesus prayed from a place of agony — not glory. And so do we. Like children who need their Father, we cry out in faith, not sight. In today’s Gospel, Jesus invites us to trust not in outcomes, but in Him. To believe the promise is just as real as the empty tomb. Because it is.

📌 Key Takeaways:

Jesus has overcome — the cross, the grave, the world.

Our prayers come from Gethsemane, not glory — but they are heard.

We have a Father who listens — even when the answer waits for eternity.

“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29)

✝️ Join us as we pray like children — trusting our Father to answer.
