Devotional for Thursday 11/10/11

[Roostem33]

We all know that life is full of troubles. We all struggle with concerns about our health, safety, family, finances, etc. In light of that, what should we do? Answer: Pray!

It's been said, "If your knees are shaking, kneel on them! So, the next time you are suddenly gripped with worry, turn it into a prayer.

The apostle Paul reminds us, "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6–7)

Notice that Paul doesn't say, Pray about everything . . . if you do this, your problems will go away.  Rather, it says, If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.


Have a great week,
