Turn Your Cares Into Prayers Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; Philippians 4:6 My friend, God doesn’t want you to be fearful, fretful or anxious. Instead, He wants you to “be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God”. So when you have a care or worry, straightaway, turn that care or worry into prayer. That is supplication. And when you are troubled by a care or worry that you don’t know how to pray for, pray in the Spirit or tongues. And in the midst of that prayer, thank God that He is already your healing, provision, good success and victory. That, my friend, is thanksgiving. “If I am worried about something, how long should I pray?” Keep on praying. Pray in the Spirit until the worry lifts or dissipates, “and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus”. (Philippians 4:7) This was what one of our church members did when he found himself anxiously trying to access some important data in his USB flash drive. After a whole day at it with no results, he finally stopped himself from being anxious and instead, turned his worry into prayer, asking the Lord to settle it for him. As he prayed in tongues, he was also thankfully repeating in his heart that having the Holy Spirit—the Helper—with him was to his advantage. (John 16:7) Later that evening, using his wife’s computer, he succeeded in accessing the data in his flash drive after a few attempts. He quickly backed up the data. It was only when subsequent attempts to use the flash drive on his wife’s computer failed did it suddenly dawn on him that God had “resurrected” his flash drive that one time, just for him to recover his data! Beloved, I believe that we would all worry a lot less and enjoy our lives a lot more if only we realized this truth: Our Abba Father is so strong that there is nothing He cannot do, and He is so loving that there is nothing He will not do for us! Thought For The Day Our Abba Father is so strong that there is nothing He cannot do, and He is so loving that there is nothing He will not do for us! Prevails We humans keep brainstorming options and plans, but God’s purpose prevails. Proverbs 19:21 (MSG) With Christ we prevail. We have good success as long as we follow God’s purpose. His purpose and plans should never be an option if we desire good success in our life. If it’s communicating to your spouse, use words that are uplifting. If it’s at work with your co-workers, use words of edifying. The more we do, we will prevail in our lives. Today, God is for you and working on your behalf. Continue or start following His purpose and plans and watch how you begin to prevail. Heavenly Father, thank you for your prevailing love. I ask you to forgive me for not following your purpose and methods. I declare I am following your purpose and prevailing in my relationships, finances, mentally, physically, and all other areas. I am prevailing and succeeding. I release all hurts and disappointments to you. I take on your character, integrity, and mindset. I love you. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. https://youtube/watch?v=xi0yLRX4d2M
