TIME FOR PRAYER

Have you thanked Him?
Have you praised Him?
Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?
Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?
1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)
The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

Short and sweet today.

Ever heard the saying, “Life is fragile, handle with PRAYER”?

Far too often reserve our prayers for the "church house, the formal occasion, the dinner table, before we lay ourselves down to sleep or when faced with crisis or challenge. Yet Paul pointed out that prayer needs to be constant (1 Thessalonians 5:17), that the conduit of communication between us and the Father needs to be open in all our waking moments!

I mean we are up one minute and down the next; have things seemingly under control and then, WHAM, something or someone pulls the proverbial rug out. Without that communication line open we are relegated to our own understanding; something GOD said we shouldn’t lean on. (Proverbs 3:5)

The essential point is we must heed Paul’s instruction. "Never STOP praying"
And right now, is a good a time as any to get started!
Chambers remarked,
“Don't forget to pray today because God did not forget to wake you up this morning.”

So let's not!

Don’t ever underestimate the power, the timing, or impact of prayer. 
Be open.
Stay open.
Nothing is too small or insignificant.
Remember GOD is invested in you INTRICATELY…
…he pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail—even numbering the hairs on your head! 
Luke 12:7 (MSG)
…let’s choose to be intricately engaged on our end too!

And now that communication lines are open, leave them open! 
Remember my friends…
“The great tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer but unoffered prayer.” ― KB Meyer


Have a blessed day…
I love you all.
