Addicted to Prayer

Bibby’s Blessings

"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything...." Phil. 4:6

I have lived a lot of years and I can tell you with absolute certainty that life is never without troubles. Never. Situations try our very souls, circumstances become so different than we'd dreamed of, people hurt us, evil threatens us. Things break, hearts break, we lose things and people, and life hurts. We can choose to gather every aspect of life into our own bosom and suckle it, frantically seeking to fight it out from within....OR...we can choose to immediately  bring it to Jesus, lay it down, and admit our own inadequacy to control how life happens. We can make up our minds to say "Yes" to Jesus' answer, no matter what it is, knowing that He is "too wise to be mistaken, and too good to be unkind." We can determine never to cling tightly to anything but rather to keep all He places in our hands in an opened palm; Bring every single thing to the foot of the cross where powerful blood flows down over it and causes even death to begin working backwards.
That, my children is where joy and peace and true and deep contentment is found. I pray that all of us throughout the generations will simply be addicted to PRAYER!
