Let's Open with Prayer
What would you think if every business meeting opened in prayer? More important, what would God think? What would if every school class opened in prayer? What if everything we did as individuals, as families, as businesses, as churches, as schools was bathed in prayer? Is it enough to just sprinkle our lives with prayer, or should we bathe ourselves in prayer?
Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice. He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, For there were many against me. God will hear, and afflict them, Even He who abides from of old. Selah. Because they do not change, Therefore they do not fear God. . . . Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. . . . I will trust in You. (Psa 55:17-23)
Are you struggling? Are you lacking peace? Are you feeling like people or circumstances are against you? Pause, and consider the integrity, trustworthiness, might, wisdom, compassion, and grace of our Heavenly Father and Lord. Can there be any doubt they He will sustain you? Can there any be any doubt that He will protect you? Put your trust in Him, and PRAY.
Yours in Him,
Pastor B.
