Prayer Is Always In Order

I've thought of writing a post for several days now since the bombing of the Boston Marathon.  Not knowing where I wanted to start, I thought first to pray.

When we look at the tragedies occurring in the world today it seems to hit home more often now than ever.  We are living in uncertain times.  Although times are uncertain God is a constant.  He is constantly faithful, His love is faithful, His forgiveness, His concern for us and  the list goes on.

I am encouraged to continue to pray as the bible has stated: I Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.  (KJV)  Another familiar scripture says: Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.  The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man (or woman) availeth much.  James 5:16.  (KJV)

My challenge, request or reminder today is that we pray without ceasing.  As we see the bitter with the sweet, we must be mindful that we serve a God who is more than capable to handle any situation and that through our prayers there is healing and much can be done through God on bent knees with fervent prayer.

Be encouraged, trust God, always!

Until next time, His Blessings to You J
