Wednesday

Good morning internet campus!

We continue our quest to find God's will for our lives with today's verse...

1 Thessalonians 16-18 "Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live."

I found myself the other day talking with a woman who was grieving. She was pouring her heart out to me, stopped, and looked up into my eyes. She was searching for answers. She wanted to know what I could do to help her heal. You know what I found myself thinking....

All I can do is pray.

Is prayer enough? Is there ever something that I shouldn't bother God with? Read on from Biblehelp.org...

Step 2: Pray and continually seek God’s wisdom and guidance in everything you do.

It has been said, "A Christian is no greater than his prayer life." We should continually pray and ask God to bless and energize each area of our ministry. We must commit all rights and control to God with every issue we encounter. Besides asking God for His power, we should continually ask God to give us wisdom and guidance in everything we do.

Many people make the mistake of thinking since God already knows my needs, He will automatically meet them. As I mentioned in earlier chapters, this couldn’t be further from the truth. God wants you to continually come to Him and be specific about all your needs.

I try to make it a point at the beginning of each day to ask God to provide me with wisdom and guidance for everything I will encounter throughout the day. During the day, when I am faced with a new issue or concern, I ask God for wisdom and direction. Although I don’t seek God’s wisdom for everything I do, such as, "What gas pump should I use?" I try to cultivate my heart so it will be open to His leading even on small "insignificant" things.


When I was talking with that hurting woman it wasn't an issue of "All I can do is pray..." it was actually..."The strongest thing I can do is pray." Never forget that. If you are truly seeking what God's will is for your life... commit to strengthening your prayer life. He will answer.
