Pray without Ceasing

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing,
in everything give thanks; for this is the
will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
( 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 *NKJV )


We are to rejoice even when one of our prayers isn't
answered the way we want. Now that may seem hard to do
but when we realize that God knows what is best for us, it
becomes easier to understand! For some of our prayers,
if answered, could cause us much grief in the long run. After
all only He knows what the future holds, and what is best for
us!

So; Be anxious for nothing, but in everything
by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known to God;
( Philippians 4:6 ) because; The effective, fervent
prayer of a righteous man avails much.
( James 5:16 )

Now there is also an added benefit to your
prayers, for they will lead you to a greater communion with
God, and a much greater understanding of His will for you
as well!
AND SPEAKING OF PRAYER,
I said a prayer for you today,
And I know God must have heard;
I felt the answer in my heart,
Although He spoke not a word.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame,
( I knew you wouldn't mind; )
I asked for priceless treasures rare,
Of a more lasting kind.
I prayed that He'd be near to you,
At the start of each new day,
To grant you health and blessings fair,
And friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness for you,
In all thing great and small,
But that you'd know His loving care,
I prayed most of all. Amen.

All My Love & Prayers,
Pastor Allen
