PREVAILING PRAYER Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Phil 4:6,7). Dearly beloved, we must guard against anxiety! Anxiety has a way of making what we WANT look exactly like what we NEED. This can cause added problems to the dilemmas we already face in our warfare with the enemy. Paul reminds us that the cure all for anxiety is a continual dosage of fervent and concentrated prayer; and directing the focus to be thankful for what we do have rather than complaining over the things we dont. When we practice this kind of praying; it penetrates Satans front-lines and forces him to abort his campaign against us. Sometimes the enemy surrounds us with uncertainties and plagues us with circumstances which intimidate us, but prayer is the the warplane that releases the bomb of Gods peace upon Satans front-lines. It doesnt matter what were faced with, Gods grace is GREATER than anything we will ever face or walk through in our lives. If the Lord called us into hardship; He has also supplied an endless reservoir of grace to carry us through it. Satans front lines may appear scary, but always remember, there is more with us than there is with him. I encourage all who read this message, not to allow anything to deprive you from your prayer closet. The prayer closet keeps us keenly discerning and watchful. It also affords us the opportunity to hear the voice of God and receive what we need in order to overcome our current crisis. The Lord is our Fortress and in concentrated and serious prayer He becomes our Refuge. Cast your care upon the Lord and seek always to do everything He has instructed you to do. We never lose when we walk humbly and obediently before our God.
