Colossians 4 (KJV)
4 Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. 2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; 3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: 4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. 5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
This passage of Scripture really highlights the importance of prayer. There are so many that one could refrence but this one actually says to " continue in prayer." Our Country needs prayer. Our President needs prayer. OUr church leaders need prayer. We, servants, need prayer. Everyone needs prayer. No one is exempt from death. However, No one is exempt from God's wonderful mercy either !
God wants us to have things that we desire, but He wants us to take time to ask Him. Sometiems I pray and not even ask Him anything I just say, "Thank YOU, Lord! You've been so very good !" Either way we need to start praying. That's why I keep a prayer journal. I just learned a new technique. I am going to start writing down the questions I have. I am also going to mark one, single, line through the ones that God answer and mark the dates. I think it is good to reflect on these kind of things. It helps one be more thankful on their journeys.
Prayer-- Lord, help me to be more Thankful. Please help me not to grumble and complain on issues that I can't control. I know you have a plan and everything will work together for my own good. IN Jesus, Sweet Name, Amen.
