Prayer

     It’s easy to get in the habit of using prayer as a last resort. When we have used up our strength, when we don’t know where to turn, when control is taken away, we turn to God. Our Savior does not want our prayers to be the last line of defense, but the first. Prayer has the power to move the hand that rules the earth.

     Allow God into your world this week. Thank Him for the little things. Praise Him for the breath of life. Pray for our country. Pray for our leaders. Pray for rain or for sunshine or for healing or for comfort. Pray for your family. God is near to your heart. He cares for you.

Come near to God and He will come near to you…James 4:8a

Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

     Come near to God. He cares for you so much. Let Him in. Ask for help. Cast your cares and worries on His mighty shoulders. He is right there.

Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Father,

Remind us to be in constant contact with You. You never leave our side, even when You seem to be far away. Help us to lean on You today with everything on our hearts.

In Jesus name,

Amen
