If you've read this blog for any length of time, you know that prayer is foundational to my life.
Today is the National Day of Prayer and I just wanted to remind you to take a moment today and pray.
What can you pray for? Everything, nothing is too inconsequential. Nothing - no requests just praise God because He is. Is anything too difficult for God? No, nothing absolutely nothing, nothing is too difficult for thee - that's an excerpt from a favorite chorus that I could sing all day long.
Verse:
Ah Lord God, Thou hast
made the heavens
And the earth by Thy great
power;
Ah Lord God, Thou hast
made the heavens
And the earth by Thine
outstretched arm.
Refrain
Nothing is
too difficult for Thee,
Nothing is
too difficult for Thee;
O, great and
mighty God,
Great in
power and mighty in deed,
Nothing,
nothing, absolutely nothing,
Nothing is
too difficult for Thee.
As believers, we are told to pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Without ceasing means continuously, non-stop, all the time.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Ephesians 6:18
Daniel continued to pray even in times of trouble. Pray was second nature to him. Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. Daniel 6:10
Additional encouragement to pray can be found on this blog post.
Today is a great reminder that we should be praying always. Pray.
We spent time praying in our office here in Belize today! Prayer is vital and like you said we should be praying always.
ReplyDeleteNOTHING is too hard for God. Absolutely nothing. "Be careful for nothing..."
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder. It is certainly a timely one.
