ead this quote this morning.. got me thinking really hard..
"O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer" - Joseph Scriven ( hymn writer)
A couple of thoughts from this quote..
-when i seem to lose my peace, need to check my prayer time
- prayer brings peace!
- i need stop carrying the load God intended to carry for us
-the best person to pour my hurts, frustrations, shattered dreams to, is God. ( 2nd is macy)
-prayer should not be the last resort, it should be the first resort.
- i need to pray more
-choose prayer over worry or fret
phil 4:6-7 (message)
"Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life"
