Don't Pray?

Prayer is a conversation with God. It's an opportunity for us to talk to Him and for Him to talk to us. It's two-way communication and it should be continual as you move throughout each day. The God of the Universe, provides us the magnificent opportunity to have a conversation with Him! He wants to hear about our joys and victories and comfort us when life gets downright difficult.


Here's the thing though, DON'T pray and then worry.


It's like oil and water. They don't mix. They were never meant to exist together.

If you're going through a difficult time, please pray about your situation and give it to God. He wants to take the cares of your world away but you must release it to Him. If you keeping worrying about the situation then you're doubting his ability to handle it.

Philippians 4:6-7 shares the following:

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

I want you to read this passage of scripture over and over. Read it until it sinks in and changes how you're handling your current situation. Several points are key in these verses. They provide a road map to peace in your heart and peace in your mind

• Don't be anxious (fear or worry)
• PRAY
• Petition (ask)
• Stay thankful
• Present your concerns to God

We're told in 3 different ways to just tell God about our situation (pray, petition, present). It's simple. Trust a holy God to carry you through. He will never leave you or forsake you. I promise. Just trust Him with ever fiber of your being. (posted by Renee)
