TAKE THE TIME TO PRAY

1 Peter 5:7 New King James Version
7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

BECAUSE OUR PRAYERS MATTER TO GOD!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR AND PRECIOUS FRIENDS!!!
As I was reading this familiar, yet very precious passage of scripture, God brought to my mind something that pastor Greg Laurie stated a while back on the issue of worry, and I wanted to share it with all of you again. Pastor Greg states that, “The word worry comes from a term that means “to choke.” And that’s what worry does. It creates mental and emotional strangulation in your life. Worry actually makes things worse, because when you worry about the future, you cripple yourself in the present.” I found that very interesting, because I have those moments where I'm allowing worry to choke me, to cripple me, and to rule my life.

Something about pastor Greg’s statement, as well as what I was reading out of God's Word, about how we can pray to God at any time, and how we can take all our worries and cares to him, very much challenged me, and I’d like to share some things that God showed me out of this morning's scripture, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you, will encourage you to see that you can come to God with anything and everything, at any time, even in the middle of the night, and God will hear and answer. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how you can take the time to pray, because with God ALL our prayers matter to Him! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with these questions from this morning's devotional, in reverse order, and I pray that they will help you see not only how important prayer is, but that you can come to the Lord anytime, anywhere, and know that your prayers make a difference, because god loves to hear us pray.

How has your prayer life grown over the years?

How can you be more intentional about praying throughout the day?

I challenge you, to think about what I've said in this vlog, and not be afraid to come to the Lord in prayer for anything and everything that you may be going through. Choose to take every care, fear, concern and worry, and don't be afraid to lay them at the feet of Jesus. Know that you can come to him with all of this, anytime, anywhere, and that God will answer! That when you're hit with the literal or figurative storms of life, or even thanking God for your food, that you can come to God in prayer throughout the day every day, and He listens!

SO, UNTIL WEDNESDAY:

HAVE A TRULY TRANQUIL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
