Jan 14 - Vignettes on Prayer

 Jan 14 - Vignettes on Prayer

 

     Today I was reading from Proverbs 12:25, where Solomon says that worry weighs a person down and an encouraging word cheers a person up.  Peter states 1 Pet 5:7, that we are to cast our cares on Jesus.  Worry, fear and anxiety will rob us of the joy and victory of the day.  The best way to deal with these things is to pray about them.  In fact we should be praying about everything.  Once we have prayed about them our next step should be to receive God’s victory and powerful.  This will enable us to do the next thing which is to encourage others.  Paul states that what we have received we should pass unto others.  When you have received a good promise and word from the Lord you should give it to others.  So many people today need an encouraging word and where better to get it from than a person who has made prayer a priority.  So today cast your cares on the Lord and then share an encouraging word with others.
