"refuse to be anxious about
anything, but in everything, by prayer and
supplication 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" (Phil 4:6). God bless you.
When Christians find themselves beset with
a myriad of problems, maybe in their
finances, at work, in the family or even with
relatives, the natural recourse, for most, at
such times would be to pray! But how do
you pray about such nagging and
seemingly intractable issues; especially
when they are trying to rob you of your
peace and joy, and make life a frustrating
experience?
Actually, if you were to pray about all the
challenges and problems you face on a daily
basis, you'll probably spend eternity on
your knees. Knowing this, God gave us the
Holy Spirit to help us pray with
understanding; to teach us how to pray,
and what to pray about: "Likewise the Spirit
also helpeth our infirmities: for we know
not what we should pray for as we ought:
but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession
for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered" (Romans 8:26).
If you carry the burden of all the problems
and the challenges that life throws at you,
your life will become full of worries. God
doesn't want your life to go that way; He
wants you free of worries and anxieties.
That's why he says, 'cast all your cares upon
me' (1 Peter 5:7); He's saying to you, "Turn
your problems and challenges to me; leave
them alone and focus on me!" When you
focus on the Lord and allow the Spirit take
control of your situation, He'll inspire you to
pray all the more effectively about your
circumstances.
Refuse to worry about whatever
predicament you may be facing right now,
turn it over to the Lord through the Holy
Spirit. When you fellowship with Holy Spirit;
He puts the right words in your mouth with
which to articulately express your desire to
the Father.
"Great peace have they which love thy law:
and nothing shall offend them or make
them stumble" (Psalm 119:165). As we relish
a 15min session of fellowship with the Lord
at 12noon and 10pm (local/GMT), speaking
in tongues and worshiping, "refuse to be
anxious about anything, but in everything,
by prayer and supplication 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" (Phil 4:6). God
bless you.
