TAKE IT TO THE LORD IN PRAYER



TEXT: Philippians 4:6
        Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
So often we tend to forget the magnificence of GOD, and the efficacy of HIS words that we just neglect HIM and sorrow through our cares. The LORD JESUS CHRIST already told us in HIS words that; we should not take thought for tomorrow concerning our welfare, HE takes care of all the birds, weeds, wild animals and so on. Imagine the forests, no one seems to be keeping them, what people rather do is to deplete them (deforestation), but it is GOD that actually takes care of the forests, HE keeps the trees growing and later people fell those trees for human uses. Some people don’t even think of how long it takes for those trees to develop to what they were before cutting them down, and they are always sure that whenever they got to a forest, there is a tree at least waiting to be cut down. This is the magnificent work of GOD. Some trees take numerous decades to develop, and they keep cutting such trees down everyday, yet we still have forests on planet earth. Only GOD actually keeps these forests, in the same way, GOD provides for wild animals too.
If GOD cares so much about other things like plants and animals, how much more we humans that HE has redeemed with the blood of HIS only begotten SON, JESUS CHRIST? The LORD told us that we need not to worry about our welfare in Matthew 6:25-26 “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
If you have things that bother you, all you need to do is to take it to GOD in prayer, JESUS CHRIST told us that we should ask and it shall be given unto us in Matthew7:7 “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:” since HE has said it, then HE will do it. You just believe when you have asked and you shall receive it, Mark 11:24 says “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
If you do not believe in GOD, you cannot receive anything from HIM, so all your cares and burdens remains yours to carry, HE will only HELP those that have come unto HIM Matthew 11:28 says “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” So it is only those that have come to GOD that will receive HIS rest .If you have not given your life to CHRIST, you need to do so now so that HE will take care of all your needs. To allow JESUS CHRIST to bare your burdens for you; just say this short prayer:
 LORD JESUS I accept you as the savior of my life, I confess that you are the only SON of GOD, I believe that you came into this world to die for my sins, now I repent from all I have done that is sinful. Please come into my life and help me to live a life that pleases you from now on. Amen
If you said this prayer, I congratulate you and welcome you to the company of the children of GOD.
