Pray and don’t be anxious

 

Text: Philippians 4:6 (ESV)

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

A lot of people are struggling in their prayer life because they are anxiously praying.  Many at times, we get frustrated and confused about why this is happening, but we often fail to realize that prayer should not be done with a feeling of worry. We should rather pour our hearts to God and allow him to carry the burden.  But the reverse is the case where many pray and still carry the worry on them.  It is usually exciting if we hand over to God as it makes us to have a strong connection with God.  Prayer can be simple but it is still acceptable by God. We tend to get intimidated by people’s prayers pattern, but the truth is God stills hears and answers those eloquent and silent ones too. The type of prayer that you render to God whether it is loud or silent; the main thing is that let it be based on the Word of God. There is NO MUST PATTERN TYPE OF PRAYER but follow Jesus lay down principles to prayers. One needs to depend on the Holy Spirit for help, and in so doing, He will perfect your prayer line that makes it exciting and not boring. Romans 8:26- Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Remember, your prayer should be in accordance with God’s will and never yours. Prayer cannot be stopped because it comes from the heart. You might not know the prayer that God will answer, so pray all manner of prayers from simple to hard matters.

One mistake we tend to make is that we think we can pray for all our needs at once, but that is not true. We cannot finish all our prayers at once; as to avoid being nervous. Luke 18:1- And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint. 1 Thessalonians 5:17- Pray without ceasing. So I urge you to cultivate the habit of prayer, be sincere and do not give up if your testimony does not come immediately, but instead be patient because that simple prayer of yours will soon move mountains, so rejoice.
