Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to GOD. And the peace of GOD, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in CHRIST JESUS.”
MATTHEW 7:7-8
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”
Prayer matters because you and I matter to GOD. Our relationship with Him is personal, and He desires to hear from you and me about anything and everything.
Prayer is crucial because it livens and strengthens our connection with GOD, and brings peace, guidance, and godly wisdom to our lives. It’s a privilege to have a personal relationship with Him through JESUS CHRIST, allowing us to share our requests, express gratitude, and receive His unwavering love and wisdom in all situations. You and I can maintain a vibrant prayer life by praying throughout the day, from the smallest daily concerns to the most significant challenges, and even when we lack the words, we must never forget that GOD hears and answers our prayers because the LORD knows everything about us and He understands what we’re going through in life.
Prayer:
Heavenly FATHER, I thank You for reminding me that I don't need to worry about anything. Help me to approach You in prayer, sharing all my needs, my concerns, and my desires with You, just as I would a trusted friend. As I bring my requests to You, help me to also remember to express my gratitude for all that You have done. Thank You for being my refuge and strength, and for Your constant presence in my life. Right now, I choose to release my anxieties and place my trust in You. I ask that Your supernatural peace, which is beyond all human wisdom and understanding, would guard my heart and mind, and fill me with Your presence as I walk in CHRIST JESUS. In JESUS' most powerful Name, Amen
