Philippians 4:6
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Thought:
Lately I have been really struggling with my prayers. I have felt disconnected with God. I read an article this morning with this text in it and explaining how in all that we breathe should be with thanksgiving and praise. Not so easy though, When we pray continuously and it all seems to fall on deaf ears. But, then the voice of the Spirit moves in your thoughts and you begin to see that all that you have been praying for and about sounds a lot like gripes and complaints to God's ears. So to Him it is not sounding so thankful for all that He is doing for you. then you begin to understand that your prayers and petitions are being answered because God can't hear you when you approach him like that. It's kind of just like when you tell your children to clean up their rooms and they do , but you tell them its not good enough...for you. Never once do we consider that the child just might not understand what you need because we approach them with the complaining heart and words. God, just might be reacting to you the same way your kids do when you approach them with that same attitude.
Here's hoping for all to have a calm, quite, restful, peaceful, and blessed weekend !
Prayer:
God, sometimes just shut my mouth, and let my heart speak. Amen.
