30 Days of Thanks – D25

Nov25

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Philippians‬ ‭4:4, 6‭ NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.4.4.NASB1995

Could praying with thanksgiving be a testimony to faith in God? Praying with thanksgiving is trusting God with the outcome of your supplication, your request before it is answered.
What happens when you leave the request at the altar and trust God for the outcome?

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

🌹Have a peaceful day, believing and  trusting with thanksgiving.

Prayer Testimony

Aug17

So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.
Romans 8:26 AMPC

What excuses have you used to avoid prayer? I know I have many. . . too tired. . . in a minute. . . not “feeling” it. . . excuse after excuse after excuse.Well we are without excuse if the Holy Spirit resides in us.

This week I resolved to set aside time, more than my normal morning prayer time, to pray. I had all my excuses lined up as to why I couldn’t but surrendered to the presence of God through the Holy Spirit.  Day 1. . . struggle. BUT, by the time I said amen, I was refreshed. I had a better attitude and I was filled with joy.

God blesses our efforts. The next morning I received two answers to prayer. One a done deal and one a positive step in a mother/son relationship. What a blessing to be a part of answered prayer. 

So what is your excuse?

Seek by Prayer

Jan13

Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
Jeremiah 29:12 NASB

O Lord, You hear the desire of the humble; You strengthen their heart, You incline Your ear. So may our hearts give attention to You, Lord God, to seek You by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth and ashes. God, You have told us to call to you and You will answer, and tell us great and mighty things which we do not know!! You have told us, through Your holy word, to call upon You in the day of trouble; You will rescue us, and we will honor You, Lord God! Thank You, God, for listening. Thank You for hearing our prayers. Thank You for bringing us from darkness into Your marvelous Light! We humbly bow before You and worship Your holy name. . . Amen.
Psalms 10:17/Daniel 9:3/Jeremiah 33:3/Psalms 50:15 NASB

🌹Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart.

Cease Striving (Be Still)

Jun11

“Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” — Psalm 46:10

One of my favorite verses that I fall back on quite often. When my life seems overwhelming and I can’t keep up with all the demands this world throws at me, when the peace I experience with the fullness of Christ in me has fled — I’m reminded that I need to be still in God’s almighty presence, exalt Him and know He is in control of all things, including my life.

Being still in His presence, I pray a prayer that includes praise and thanksgiving which helps me to know my God is mighty and can handle whatever comes my way. Prayer for others reminds me that some have worse hurdles than mine to get over and prayer for myself helps me relinquish my life to the One who gave it to me.

There is NOTHING too big or too small that the God of this universe, who created you, can’t handle. Cease your striving and know that He is God. HE WILL BE EXALTED!!!!!!!

Prayer of Supplication

May4

What is a prayer of supplication? A humble prayer spoken with earnest entreaty and petition.

God desires us to pray (He also commands it) for our benefit. What is our need, desire, anxious way in us? Don’t hold on to it and fret about it. Go humbly to the Father. He does not want us to “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”.*

Why take it all to the Lord? For peace. We don’t need to carry fear, uncertainty, pain, difficulties, burdens, worry, etc. Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful”.«

Some don’t pray because of pride. We won’t ask God for the things we need or want because we believe it is up to us to supply those things or we think prayer is for others who really “need” it. Our faith is dependent on trust in Jesus. Prayer is showing Him our dependence on Him. Humble prayer is a surrender of our will to His. Surrender and dependence go hand in hand.

So let loose and pray. Pray for your everyday needs, “Give us this day our daily bread”.» Pray for deliverance, “And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil”.< Our need is daily so our prayers need to be daily.

The great thing about praying to Jesus is that He knows what we go through on a daily basis. “For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need”.> “For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted”.~

Prayer brings us into a close relationship with our Lord and Savior. So close that He abides in us and “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you”.#

Our prayer life is evident in our daily walk. We walk in peace, and how we live shows fruit. “You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you”.’

So we pray asking for what we need to bring us to a point to ask for what will glorify the Father through His Son. “Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son”. — John 14:13

Please don’t neglect prayer for yourself. It is necessary to glorify God.

Continually seeking Him,

Sharon
