May 14 PRAY: Anytime, All the Time! 1 Thessalonians 5:7
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Pray Without Ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:7)
My dear mother would often say, “All we can do is pray!” So many times, as Life has become challenging and times difficult and people hard to handle, I have spoken these same words and then, “Stopped, Dropped, and Prayed!” Praying unlocks the doors of Heaven and releases the Power of God in our lives! James 4:2 tells us that “You do not have because you do not ask!” Consider the instructions from Phillippians 4:6: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God…” God expects us to talk with Him and to share our needs and our intentions for ourselves, and He expects that we intercede for others, as well! God wants to use us, through our daily, consistent prayers, to make a difference in the lives of others! FACT: “When you are praying for someone, it is impossible to tear them down!” When trials come… PRAY! When challenges occur… PRAY! When Sickness Happens… PRAY! When Disappointments Come… PRAY! When People Hurt You… PRAY! When Times are Great…Pray! When Life is Amazing… PRAY! The key to success in living, is to “PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! Stay Strong, Stay Focused… THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
