These ARE troubling times - covid/vaccines/mandates; unrest within our country; much going on outside our country; many unknowns.......These things tend to make us on edge and unsettled.
Let me share briefly from Charles Stanley's devotion from Sept. 27, 2021.
All that is going around us challenges our security and peace. What are we doing about that? Are relying on ourselves and human strength to find a way through OR are we calling out to God?
Stanley's ideas:
1) one of the purposes of prayer is to make us aware of our own dependence on the Lord
2) nothing is too small to bring to Him or too big for Him to handle
3) we are told in Phil. 4:6 not to worry about anything
4) after we take our concerns to the Lord we WILL have His peace - Phil. 4:7 - even though the circumstances may not have changed.
It was exciting to think that praying does make us aware of depending on God.
So - come to the Lord in prayer, humbly asking and seeking Him and His will. Bring all your concerns to Him and He will give you peace!
