Peace

1 Peter 5:7
Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares for you. NLT
Our world is in chaos. Our families are in conflict. Our Churches are getting smaller and are considered irrelevant to many people. There is no peace in almost everyone’s lives. What is going on?
It seems that almost conversation that I have is filled with worries and issues. My response is almost always the same. Pray and give it to God.
Why do we seek help from everything except our loving God who will take care of us? Why is prayer and reliance on God not our first choice instead of the phone or Facebook?
I am calling all of you to pray first. To intercede on issues with faith and hope that God is in control and His will is the best. We should first act by praying and then continue to do so.
We cannot fix this world, our families or our Churches. We must pray to God and let Him show us how to fix us. When we are seeking God and going what He wants, things will get better. Seek first the will of God in all areas of your life.
I am not saying that we should not ask other people to pray for us. It matters when more people pray on the same subject. It is important, but we must pray and intercede every minute of every day for ourselves and others.
It is very important that we also confess our shortcomings and issues. Adoration for God and His ways must be given often as well as thanks for the blessings that we have. Prayer is the key to changing the world. Obedience to what God directs you to do in your life and others is the result of intercession.
Go right now and prayer. Keep on praying. Then rejoice in what our God has done!
We are reminded by Paul:
Philippians 4:6
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. NLT
