Thankful Praying

Nov18

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.4.6-7.NASB1995

What a friend we have in Jesus. One so near who knows our wants and needs before we even open our mouths but listens anyway. I am so thankful He is only a breath away.
When I pour out my heart, He brings my heart to thankfulness. Thankful that He is big enough to handle the tears, fears, troubles and my confessions of sin. Thankful that He is a forgiving God and able to restore my heart and mind. Thankful for His peace and grace; forgiveness and restoration.

Anxiety replaced with peace.
Requests turned to thankful praise.
Yes, I am very thankful I have a friend in Jesus.

Talk to God

May16

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Philippians 4:6 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.4.6.NASB1995

What is the cure for anxiety?
Pray.

‭Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart,
Luke 18:1 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.18.1.NASB1995

Pray Believing

‭And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
Matthew 21:22 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.21.22.NASB1995

Pray with Persistence

‭“Ask (keep asking), and it will be given to you; seek (keep seeking), and you will find; knock (keep knocking), and it will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:7 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.7.7.NASB1995

If the persistence is lacking we are probably asking for something we really don’t want or need.  Persistence in prayer may also be because God is preparing us for the answer. How often do we pray for something without really thinking about how the answer would affect our walk? Persistence so we are aligned with God’s will and purpose.

Pray Trusting

‭This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.
1 John 5:14-15 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.5.14-15.NASB1995

🌹Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.3.5-6.NASB1995

Pray with a thankful heart.

Provisions Anxiety

May15

Be anxious for nothing,
Philippians 4:6a NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.4.6.NASB1995

Life can come with lots of anxiety. Worries about ourselves, our children, our livelihood, and multiple other things in life. But God says be anxious for NOTHING.

Why? How?

‭“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Matthew 6:25 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.6.25.NASB1995

Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?
Matthew 6:26 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.6.26.NASB1995

And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!
Matthew 6:28, 30 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.6.28-30.NASB1995


Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’
Matthew 6:31 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.6.31.NASB1995

If God can be trusted to care for the birds and flowers, will He not care for His prized and precious creation, you?

🌹casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
Peter 5:7 NASB1995‬

God Really Cares

Aug21

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

What are you worried about? What in your life is causing you anxiety? Do you know that God cares for you and that you can take anything and everything to Him in prayer?

God is Sovereign which means He is in control of all things and knows what is happening in your life. If God is in control of your life, that means you can trust Him. Who else can you trust with every aspect of your life? God says He can and He will. If we trust Him than it is a sin to worry/have anxiety. Our faith is weak when we worry. Why are you carrying the burden of worry when the Lord is waiting to hear about all that makes you anxious? He cares for you.

Okay, lets say that we are good at taking our worries and anxieties of life to God and spilling it all out to Him. That is wonderful. But do we take it back or leave it in His capable hands, trusting Him to see us through and give us direction? Take each specific worry or anxiety to God telling Him all about it. After each specific statement tell Him you trust Him to take care of that which is worrying or causing anxiety in you. Then trust Him for the outcome knowing He cares for you. To God be the glory in your life as you cast ALL your anxiety and worry on Him. He really cares for you.

Continually seeking Him,

Sharon
