Prayer begins by acknowledging the ____ of God in our lives.

• A. mercy
• B. grace
• C. sovereignty
• D. glory

Answer: (C)

Acknowledging God’s sovereignty at the start of prayer sets the right posture for approaching Him: recognizing that He rules over all, holds ultimate authority, and governs our lives. This awareness humbles us, invites submission to His will, and frames our requests within His sovereign plan. While mercy, grace, and glory are meaningful truths about Him and His dealings with us, sovereignty provides the essential stance from which prayer naturally flows—trustful dependence offered to the one who rightly governs every circumstance.
