Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Prayer is essential to our spiritual lives. When you go to God in prayer he hears you. It does not always mean that he is going to give you what you want but he will always supply what you need. God wants to hear our prayers, but to keep them from becoming too self-focused, God wants us always to remember to give thanks. It is so easy for us to turn prayer into a request line. We are the ones who are left bereft when thanksgiving and praise are robbed from our prayers. One of the things I do not understand is when the faithful begin to question why they are going through what they are going through. God is simply preparing you for the blessing, because he knows with his blessings more trouble is sure to follow. As true believers we do not have to be anxious or worry about life’s problems just Let go and let God have his way. Troubles and problems will come and go but God is forever faithful.
The scripture teaches that the future of God’s people rests in the hands of the living God. If God is for you, what man, what difficulty, what problem can stand against you. No matter what you are going through today, Are you ready for a fresh perspective. You need not view any situation or circumstance in your life as permanent or limiting. Instead, I encourage to allow God to guide your steps. The steps may not be easy but just keep movinig in the Lord. I encourage you to allow the Holy Spirit to remove all the anxiety you may face. Prayer is essential to your spiritual life and life itself. AMEN!
