I'm not much of a worrier, but I also know the Lord has challenged me to consider the difference between a pat prayer and praying through. I'm so good at the one and not so skilled at the other. <br /><br />Good thoughts, sweet friend.<br /><br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-3825917257485004092015-07-15T12:40:58.902-07:002015-07-15T12:40:58.902-07:00Thank you for your kind and wise words - I guess t...Thank you for your kind and wise words - I guess that's why Paul meant in I Thessalonians when he said: "Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live." (I Thess 5:16-18 The MSG). <br /><br />I try to live like that :) -RSSoul's Pantinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272687243492267641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-58331774842218262532015-07-13T10:47:50.114-07:002015-07-13T10:47:50.114-07:00I stand convicted.

Oh Lord, how I need Your help!<br /><br />Thank you for these wise words - they are timely. And they have encouraged me to once again remember that prayer is a mighty antidote to the fear arrows that the enemy slings at me.<br /><br />God's solution - "Don't worry about anything. Instead, pray about everything."<br /><br />Yes, I will do that.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-4915138324960963262015-07-10T09:39:23.232-07:002015-07-10T09:39:23.232-07:00So true!

I also saw the lack of trust in praying solutions or focusing on the problem. That must have made it so hard for God to bless me and I'm sure I withheld my own blessings. Looking back, His answers did not look like my prayer requests!<br /><br />You're a wise cookie, girlfriend. This is great advice.<br /><br />Thanks for prayers for Angie. I heard she made it through the surgery yesterday and her family keeps saying "how wonderful God is!" Now the healing.<br /><br />Love,<br />MarySaleslady371https://www.blogger.com/profile/15962608799409882219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-84374662869322399632015-07-06T14:33:58.287-07:002015-07-06T14:33:58.287-07:00Good counsel.

I might even stop praying and start over. I am sure that The Lord recognizes that we are but dust and are prone to worry. That said, I would prefer to honor Him with faith that He will work it all out. Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
