BE PRAYING

Pray without ceasing. (1Th 5:17 NKJV)

If you could meet with the Richest in the world, would you?

If you could speak with the Wisest in the world, would you?

If you could communicate with the Most Powerful,  would you?

If you could attend a symposium of the Most Brilliant Scientist and Creator, would you?

If you could have a consult with the Greatest Physician ever known, would  you make and keep that appointment?

If you could have time with the One who knows and understand everything, would you?

If you could talk to the King of all Kings…

If you could converse with the Prince of Peace…

If you could pick the brain of, He who forgives all…

If you could sit and chat with the funniest, happiest, most comforting, best friend and advocate, would you make time for Him?

If you have made Jesus Christ Savior and Lord of your life, every day, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you have access to God who IS all that I listed above. Either you don’t know it, or you do not believe it.  God has the answer to your ever need, problem, or predicament.  He is your Man.

When you are happy, pray without ceasing.
When you are sad, pray without ceasing.
When you are mad, pray without ceasing

When you are at home, pray without ceasing.
When feel all alone, pray without ceasing.
When you want to reach the Throne, pray without ceasing.

When you are discouraged when you are disappointed, feeling defeated,
pray without ceasing.When you are sick, tricked, or in conflict, pray without ceasing.When you are in need, lacking sleep or stuck on repeat, pray without ceasing.

The other day, I was overwhelmed with my house.  Everything was a mess.  There was a pile here, a pile there, and a pile everywhere.  I was feeling anxious and overwhelmed.  I wanted to bring a dumpster to the front door and just start pitching everything. 

I stopped. I prayed to the Great Organizer.  If he can put a human body together, and hang the moon and stars in their place, I figured He could help me out.   The great thing is when you go to God in prayer, you don’t just get to talk to speak to the Great Organizer,  but you are also in the presence of the Prince of Peace, God Almighty and the Comforter.  He can give you not only the organizational prowess to get things done, but also give you the power, and ability to do it all.  And He will provide you peace and comfort in the process.  PRAYER CHANGES THINGS!  It changes everything.  It is a game changer.

So, tell me again why you do not pray to God of it all?  You have a direct line though Jesus to the control center of the universe, the throne of God.

I hear you, “Well, I don’t know how.  I don’t do it good enough.”  YOU ARE WRONG. 

God created you to walk, talk,  and be in relationship with Him. (BTW…I’ll show you how in tomorrow’s blog if that is your excuse.)

When my boys or my new girls call, I STOP in my tracks to speak with them.  It is one of my greatest joys, just hearing their voice.   God is ALWAYS THERE waiting for YOUR CALL!  He wants to hear your voice.  And I know HE  is more excited to hear from you than I am to hear from my kiddos.

I enCOURAGE you to pray without ceasing.

 In Him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Col 2:3 NLT)

Viva Magenta:  Live. Breathe. Be praying without ceasing.
