Prayer!

In Paul's letter to the Thessalonians, he tells us to give thanks and pray continually.

It is often very difficult to see all our blessings.  And especially if we are in the habit of not praying often, we turn to GOD to solve our problems and this is where we focus our prayer.

However, what we should be doing is praying to GOD about everything.  When we see something good, we need to pray.  When we see something bad we need to pray and when we want to talk to someone, that someone should always be GOD first. 

So let us get into the habit of praying to GOD about everything.  When we wake up let us thank GOD that we are awake and thank HIM for the new day and all its opportunities.  When we have our meals let us thank GOD.  When we go to work let us thank GOD for safe travels.  When we go to sleep at night let us thank GOD for the day.

Let us praise GOD.  When we look at nature or a new baby or an old person, let us thank GOD.  When we see something beautiful let us thank GOD.

Then let us pray for each other, for our family, for our friends, for the leaders of the Church and the leaders of the Country.

Let us also make time to read GOD's word daily and let us pray when we have read the word.

In everything let us thank GOD.  

Prayer: Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU that I am able to talk to YOU daily.  I thank YOU FATHER for YOUR creation, the earth and the universe.  I thank YOU for stars and for the sun.  I thank YOU FATHER for the food i have to eat and the house that I have to live in.  I thank YOU for my family and my friends.  Heal those friends who are ill and who need help.  

FATHER, forgive my sins as I forgive all those who sin against me.  I pray all of this in the Holy Name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay immeasurably, prayerfully, GOD blessed today!
