Prayer

There are times in our lives that we are burdened with things. Our close family or friends are dealing with health issues, financial issues in our life, a season of depression or what seems to be bad/ negative times, or times where nothing is going your way. What do we do in these times? The answer is easy, we pray and we lean into God.

Praying is one the more difficult disciplines in our lives. Mainly because we are too busy and do not have time for it. The is fact is that we have more than enough time to spend with our Creator. We must become intentional in building the habit of prayer, placing guardrails and failsafes in our daily walks that help is keep praying. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says it simply, "pray without ceasing." That is our goal, to pray continually and fervently. How can we make this happen? I suggest getting a small notebook and writing down prayers and prayer requests. Then leaving a blank space after them, that way when you refer back to your prayers you will see the need to ask that person how the situations turned out. When you get down the road you will see God answer the prayers that you have prayed for. This is intentionally caring for those in need and also your own prayers, and it is encouraging to see God working as well.

God Bless
