Everything…

Philippians 4:6 NLT “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

1 Peter 5:7 NLT “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”

According to Merriam-Webster the word ‘everything’ is defined as all that exists; all that is important; all sorts of other things-used to indicate related but unspecific events, facts, or conditions.

Simply put if you; care about it, dream about it, long for it, hope for it, need it, are concerned about, questioning, wandering, or just lonely put it to prayer.

Prayer is nothing more than and nothing short of, visiting with God. Talking to him about everything and nothing. He cares about our trials and woes and is there to hold and help but He also loves to hear our thankfulness, our exclamations of joy and awe at the beauty of his landscapes, or the paintings he displays in our skies above.

To rejoice when we experience his unending power in the pounding waves of the ocean. To sense and feel his grandeur amongst the majestic trees of the forests. To experience the joy that bubbles up within at the tumbling brooks, buzzing bees, and the gentle breeze whispering through your hair.

The Lord created us to have communion with him and he with us, before Adam and Eve fell from grace, God would come down in the evening and walk and talk with them.

Genesis 3:8 KJV “And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.”

They hid because they had tasted the forbidden fruit and sin had entered the perfect world God had intended. Not my point this morning but one that can’t be ignored, ‘they hid’ which is exactly what sin wants us to do, hide from God. But don’t, he’s there to hear that prayer too asking for forgiveness, grace, and mercy.

Our Lord is the best friend you can and could ever have. Start a conversation with him today about anything I think you’ll be surprised to find, He answers.

Be blessed today and be a blessing. Thank you for joining me. 🥰
