Have you prayed about it yet?

"Be anxious for nothing but in all things by prayer

and supplication with thankgiving, let

your requests be made known unto God."

Phil 4:6

Someone once said, "When it rains, it pours." Life will at times make you a witness to this nugget of social truth. I can testify that it is true sometimes that when it rains in our lives...it pours. Have you ever been in such a fix that the only thing you can do is sit down? You fall into a rut. You drag along through life waiting for something to change about your situation. You know, at times we can feel so helpless and hopeless. We've done all that we feel we can do. We've talked to our boss, we borrowed money, we've called our cousin, we applied for the loan...anything that we believe would change our situation. Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of trying to make life work out....we forget to pray. What?!!!! You mean to tell me that we go through all of the of effort trying to make our situation better and we forget to pray? Yes we do. The power of prayer is often eclipsed by the fear of the unknown, pink slips, doctor visits, marital spats and a host of other things that we have absolutely no control over. Prayer is often used by many as a last resort when in actuality prayer should be the first thing we do when confronted with the unpredicatable trials of life. I was talking to someone who was sharing with me all that he was going through after having lost his job. He shared with me how he applied for unemployment and was waiting for that to come. He shared with me how he had been having some issues with his child's mother and how he intended on dealing with it. He went on to share some decisions that he had to make that would put him in a dilemma. And my question to all that he shared was...have you prayed about it yet?

Whatever it is you're going through. Whatever problem; whatever pain, what ever private storm has you feeling like you don't know if you're coming or going... STOP!! TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND PRAY ABOUT IT!!! God knew you would be in your situation and he can deliver you out. Have you prayed about it yet? That money problem...have you prayed about it yet? That spouse that doesn't get it, have you prayed about it yet? Get back on your feet by getting on your knees and praying about it!!!!!!!
