In these times our only hope and our only help is God.
So what do we do when the storm blows and the winds buffet..pray, pray, pray without ceasing.
Let's follow the example of Christ, the word says he retreated often to pray.
Luke 5:15/16
15 But the news about Him was spreading farther, and large crowds kept gathering to hear Him and to be healed of their illnesses. 16 But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray [in seclusion].
May we follow this pattern, even with the "busyness" of our responsibilities seem to want to take preeminence.
Truth is we can have strength along the way when we pray.
We can have insight, foresight and wisdom when we pray.
We CAN make the time to pray and prayer doesn't have to be a long drawn out vain repetition it can be a simple heartfelt whisper like Mary "Lord let it be unto me according to your will".
Though this should not be the precedence for all prayers, because there are times when we get into the presence of God and pray and pray and pray. There really is no set religious format and what works for one is not what God desires for another. Just allow the holy spirit to lead you and enjoy your RELATIONSHIP with you Abbah, your Papa, your Daddy, your Father.
Some of us may feel hemmed in by current Worldwide guidelines and restrictions, and it may seem as if the very forces from the Kingdom of darkness want to bombard many with fear, frustration and distraction. Why not use this time wisely? To be filled up with God's love and his power by spending more time in prayer, more time in Intercession and more time in fasting. We hone out the heavenly spiritual things when we pray and we are prepared for the next great move of God. The next great move? God is sovereign and he is always up to something good. We just need to discern the times and the seasons.
Spend a lot of time listening to him and following his leading. What a wonderful privilege it is to just be able to walk and talk with God, those times of relating with God are truly to be treasured.
Keep talking to God
Keep listening to him
Keep on praying
He hears and he answers YOU
1 John 5:14/15
14 This is the [remarkable degree of] confidence which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that [c]if we ask anything according to His will, [that is, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us. 15 And if we know [for a fact, as indeed we do] that He hears and listens to us in whatever we ask, we [also] know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted to us] the requests which we have asked from Him.
Amen
Walk Good in Christ
Till we meet again
