Day 3

 

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:6-7

 

“Men and women are needed whose prayers will give to the world the utmost power of God; who will make His promises to blossom with rich and full results. God is waiting to hear us and challenges us to bring Him to do this thing by our praying. He is asking us, to-day, as He did His ancient Israel, to prove Him now herewith.” Behind God’s Word is God Himself, and we read: “Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: Ask of me of things to come and concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me.” As though God places Himself in the hands and at the disposal of His people who pray – as indeed He does. The dominant element of all praying is faith, that is conspicuous, cardinal and emphatic. Without such faith it is impossible to please God, and equally impossible to pray.” – E.M. Bounds

 

Let us pray:

Lord, many times we have faith to believe in You and faith to believe prayer for others. However there are many times when we do not have faith to believe prayer for ourselves. It is so strange. Help our unbelief. We are anxious and our minds run with so many plans of fixing things on our own. Help us to stop, be still, and focus on You. Help us to remember you are so desiring to intervene in our lives. We just need to allow You.

We’re tired of trying to make it work all the time. Today we give you permission to take control. We submit our cause into Your hand. Please take care of us. Please. Amen.
