Day 74

1 Thessalonians 5:17 ~ “Never stop praying.” (GWT)

Prayer is powerful, it’s one of the strongest weapons we have as believers, and often the most unused. I want to remind you today to NEVER stop praying! Stay in constant contact with God. The closer you are to Him, the farther you are away from the dangers of this world. Now I don’t mean to say that you won’t go through things, but prayer will allow the things you go through not overtake you. For those of you who have been dealing with the same issue for a while now, pray still! Yes, it may seem redundant to pray over and over for the same things, especially when God already knows the situation, pray anyway! Ephesians 6:18 tells us to “pray on every occasion as the spirit leads us”, so don’t give up. Just last week I heard a person say that he was tired of praying, that God was going to do what He wanted to do regardless, so he gave up because God hadn’t answered his prayers yet. It is my prayer that you won’t give up on God; He certainly hasn’t given up on you. Keep talking to Him, keep seeking His guidance, and keep thanking Him for His goodness. He hears you, He sees you, and He WILL save you…you just have to KEEP PRAYING! Don’t get discouraged because things haven’t changed yet, the prayers of the righteous avail much. (James 5:16) Your help is on the way!
