A little something to ponder………
A gospel artist by the name of J. Moss, wrote a song and entitled it “Don’t pray and worry”! I watched a group of young people praise dance to that particular song and it was not until I watch them interpret the song that I really heard what was being said. How can I go to God in prayer and expectation if after I leave His presence I am still consumed or worried about that thing that I took to Him in prayer?
Too often I have been guilty of that!! I pray, I cry out to God and I fast but when I am done with all of that, I go right back to worrying about what I just took all that time out to get rid of. I Peter 5:7 says: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. We should not be going around worrying about the cares of this life. We belong to God and He will not allow anything to happen to us that we cannot handle and He desires that we put all of our hope and trust in Him and Him alone! I know that our economy is not doing well right now but remember that the Lord said that He would never leave us nor forsake us and that if He tends to the needs of a sparrow then why would He not tend to the needs of His servants. The righteous won’t be forsaken! While you are trying to figure it out…God has already worked it out!
Pray! Oh Yes, we must pray! But don’t Pray and worry!
