PRAY For An Extra Measure of JOY



Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  As you sit quietly during your prayer time, drink in the JOY of Jesus and bask in His love.

            Prayer is such an important part of developing a loving relationship with God.  Over and over again in His Word, He exhorts us to pray.  What are we to pray about?  EVERYTHING!!!!   All of us having probably been tempted to think: “Some things are not important enough to bother God.  He has more urgent things to attend to than my insignificant problem.” 

            Well, let’s all be reminded…If it’s important to you, it’s important to GOD!  AND NOTHING is too small or too big to bring to the Father in prayer! 

            The New Living Translation tells us in Philippians 4:6: “Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” 

            Do I need to repeat the part of the verse that says PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING!?  Pray about:
  • Your family
  • Your relationships
  • Your health
  • Your job
  • Your spiritual growth
  • Your major and minor decisions
  • Your problems…..large or small
  • I’ve even found myself praying about parking spaces and the right pair of shoes!

And let’s not forget to ask God to use US as His instruments to deliver the JOY of the Lord to those we meet today and every day!

            Pray about everything…..Let’s ask God for an extra measure of JOY to share with others along our way!
