First Response Philippians 4:6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Do we really pray like we should? Do we even know How to pray? We come in here and we go to church every week and we pray for changes to take place so that we might benefit from our relationship with Jesus. Listen to The rest of the verse 6 and 7 that goes like this. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus V7 tells us you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand We seem to worry about a lot of things when we are told to pray and experience an un-understandable peace. What do we understand in this verse when it comes to prayer before God? Peace beyond our comprehension! IF we would stop worrying, stop trying to figure it all out and simply know and believe in His power to overtake any of our worries. His peace will become known Oswald Chambers wrote: “We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there’s nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all.” Did you get that? Pray before we do anything at all Prayer is simply a conversation with God, spoken with the expectation that God hears and answers. Prayer should not be a last resort. We also have His promise that when “two or three are gathered together” in His name, He will be “there in the midst of them” (Matt. 18:20). Nineteenth-century pastor Andrew Murray said: “Prayer opens the way for God Himself to do His work in us and through us.” When we allow prayer to work in us His work brings calm to our hearts and minds to know peace as He intended us too. Remember Pray first!
