On FB the other day, there was a picture of a girl laying by a pool with sunglasses and a drink with the caption “Me praying to the Holy Spirit over little things…”. And it made me stop and think for a moment…
Many people think that they should only pray when it’s something “big” or “serious”. Some think they should pray over everything. Where is the Love for God on our side if we only seek God when we need something?
Praying really needs to become like breathing. Trust is not built in a day. Waiting for something “big” to happen in order to pray leaves the person praying at great risk. Not because God won’t answer their prayer, but because God’s Peace comes from Trusting Him. Praying over little things more often is better, but what about conversations with God about our day? What about Thanking God for all that He has Blessed us with?
How do we become more like Jesus if we only pray when solutions are needed?
As Christians, our goal needs to be Praying Like Other People Breathe. Become A Friend Of God. Talk with Him every day! Through out the day.
And when tough times do come, and they will, we will be filled with God’s Peace, Peace which is beyond all understanding 🙂
