Essentially prayer is where
we profess our need of Christ and His solution to our
problems. It is also the place where we learn to worship
Him and grow spiritually in His loving presence. As we
spend time with Him, God lovingly teaches us how to pray
and how to listen for His still, small voice replying
to our humble requests. Prayer is the doorway to freedom
from the burdens of our daily lives.
Over our lifetime,
we will face many difficult situations. Some will be
very exciting and challenging. Whatever life sends
our way, we know that God cares.
He shares in our joys and our sorrows. Whatever you're facing, trust God with
it. Ask Him to take away the anxiety, fear, and feelings of frustration. When
you trust the Lord, you rest in His care. You probably could name at least
one place where you feel safe and accepted, but there
is no place where you will
feel more accepted or secure than in the presence of God. |
