Paul tells us in 1st Thessalonians 5:17 to
"pray without ceasing."
"pray without ceasing."
God intends for prayer to be the means of obtaining His solutions for our life issues, whether those issues are good or not so good. We need His guidance, we need to hear from HIM....AND...He wants to hear from us, each and every day, in each and every situation.
When life becomes a problem
much too great for us to bear,
Instead of trying to escape,
let us withdraw in prayer.....
For withdrawal means renewal
if we withdraw to pray
And listen in the quietness
to hear what God will say.

Always remember, God answers knee-mail!
Good morning, dearest Mary! I hope you are well on this lovely Monday :) First of all, your header is stunning! I gasped in delight when I pulled up your page.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, thank you for the beautiful and encouraging post. I always appreciate what you share on your blog. Hugs to you, dear one!
Prayer is such a privilege. Love that I can talk to Him at any time.
ReplyDeleteYour new look on the blog is lovely! I agree that prayer is a 24-hour, minute by minute thing. Talking to the Lord is such a privilege! We are so blessed to be able to talk to the ONE who loves us most whenever we want, and best of all, He is always ready to listen! Have a blessed week my friend! I love your picture of the Word with your coffee :)
ReplyDeleteSo thankful for the gift of prayer...and the fact that God is always there listening when we pray. He may not always answer us right away...but He doesn't forget our needs or concerns...and He WILL answer in His time, His way, which is always the BEST way. Thank you for this reminder to pray.
ReplyDeleteAmen
