REJOICE ALWAYS, PRAY WITHOUT CEASING, IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS; FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD IN CHRIST FOR YOU. ( 1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18 *NKJV ) Dear Ross Jr, We are to rejoice even when one of our prayers isnt answered. Now that may seem hard to do but when we realize that God knows what is best for us, it becomes easier to understand! For some of our prayers, if answered, could cause us much grief in the long run. After all only He knows what the future holds, and what is best for us! So, BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, BUT IN EVERYTHING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION, WITH THANKSGIVING, LET YOUR REQUESTS BE MADE KNOWN TO GOD. ( PHILIPPIANS 4:6 ) because, THE EFFECTIVE, FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILS MUCH. ( JAMES 5:16 ) Now Ross Jr, there is also an added benefit to your prayers, for they will lead you to a greater communion with God, and a much greater understanding of His will for you as well! AND SPEAKING OF PRAYER, I said a prayer for you today, And I know God must have heard; I felt the answer in my heart, Although He spoke not a word. I didnt ask for wealth or fame, ( I knew you wouldnt mind; ) I asked for priceless treasures rare, Of a more lasting kind. I prayed that Hed be near to you, At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings fair, And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you, In all thing great and small, But that youd know His loving care, I prayed most of all. With My Love & Prayers, your servant Allen
