Good Morning Sunshine! Have You Told God About It?

Philippians 4:6-7,19 NIV ~ “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. [7] And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. [19] And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”

I want you to look at these two scenarios in your life. First, has there ever been a time that you were unsure about some things in your life? Well, you don’t have to wait another day to figure it out on your own. Position your heart in the right place of humility, and then ask God to help you and once you’ve have done this, asked and trust that God is directing you. 

Second, if you know you’ve taken a wrong path, you can seek God for direction instead of looking to the world for answers. As you take steps to follow and obey God’s voice, He will lovingly show you the way. You see both of these scenarios require you to do the same thing to have a great expected in, you have to go to God and ask Him! So, have you done that yet? 

There are so many times that you have second-guessed a decision because you were uncomfortable and tried to figure it out all by yourself. And now you have learned that you have to follow God’s way so that you don’t make another wrong move. You want to be wondering where you supposed to be doing or doing that, you will be able to do exactly what He said, because you asked Him and He responded! 

You have been told time and time again in the Word of God to tell Him what you need. And day after you have tried to get around it, there is no way around God! You and me, need to follow this command faithfully by presenting your request to God daily and to not be anxious for anything, trusting and believing that He will take care of everything! And while you wait, don’t lose heart, stop praying for one thing and then assuming that God is not going to answer you, stop being contradictory of what you are praying for! You are to always pray, Luke 18:1, “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. You have to keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.  Matthew 7:7.

Today, I want you to delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4. As you delight yourself in the Lord, you won’t over think it or become overcomplicated. It will be what God intended for your prayer life. It’s in this place that you get to the root of a thing, you are communicating with your Father, and you do know that the root of communication is commune, and this simply means to talk with intensity and intimacy; and to interchange thoughts and feelings with someone else on a consistent basis. One day I realized that I used to be missing that in my prayer life, consistency, when I started to be consistent my way of praying changed! When I began to be consistent in prayer, prayer became the most important part of my life, and I knew who I was telling all about it! 

Your prayers don’t have to sound right or be polished or well put together to be effective. God is just inviting you to have a little talk with Him, about anything that is on your heart. The more you include Him in on the small things, the easier it is to include Him in on the big things. You can talk with Him just like you have a conversation with your friend, God just wants to hear from you. Just bring your whole honest heart to Him. He already delights in you, and He’s willing to listen. Start with what comes to your heart and mind first. There’s no better time to pray than right now. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  And my God will meet all of your needs according to the riches of His Glory in Christ Jesus! 

Let’s Pray:

Thank You Father. Thank You! Father, You know my every need and when I draw close to You in prayer, I trust and believe that You hear me and my hearts desires. Father. Help me to not be anxious for anything and to trust and believe in You. Father, I am bringing everything to You in prayer, my relationships, my finances, my emotions, my physical and spiritual needs. Father, help to me remember that I can cry out to You in every situation, big and small and You will delight in me coming to You. For I long for the moments when I can commune with You and You commune with me. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen! 

Blessings…
