Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

Then Saul said, "Let's chase the Philistines
all night and destroy every last one of them
" His men replied, "We'll do whatever you
think is best." But the priest said,
"Let's ask God first."
1 Samuel 14:36 NLT

The Lord is righteous in everything he does;
he is filled with kindness. The Lord is close
to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on
him sincerely. He fulfills the desires of those
who fear him; he hears their cries for help
and rescues them.
Psalm 145:17-19 NLT

Reflection:  

I love this verse!  What a reminder,
"Let's ask God first"'  Why is it that
so many of us try everything before
we even think about asking God.  I
have discovered that when I go to the
Lord first, I save myself an awful lot
of aggravation and sometimes pain.
And please, please, remember this:
Our God is a righteous God, He is
filled with kindness, love, and compassion.
Our God is close to all those who sincerely
call upon Him.  He hears our cries for
help, He hears our requests.  God is there
for us, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS ASK!

Reminder:

Prayer appears nearly on every page of
the Bible as the very essence of a faith
relationship with the living God.


Prayer:

(ASK GOD NOW)

The next morning Jesus awoke long before
daybreak and went out alone into the wilderness
to pray.
Mark 1:35 NLT
