Prayer

"It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to the Most High. It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening." -Psalms 92:1, 2

"The intense prayer of the righteous is very powerful" -James 5:16

"Don't fret or worry, Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life." -Philippians 4:6

I love knowing that whenever I get scared or I'm worried, I can turn to God and He will always be there. I don't pray as much as I would like, which is why I am posting this. Someone once told me that it doesn't matter where are when you pray. You don't have to schedule time with God. He is always there, ready to listen. Nowadays, our lives are so busy, so maybe you do have to plan a time during your day for Him. Always remember that He is worthy of our time. I hope that this encourages me and you to put more time aside for God.

"Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."
-Mark 11:24
