Are You Still Trying To Work Things Out On Your Own or Have You Learned How To Stop, Drop, and Pray?

Prayer works.   Don't be so distracted that you cannot pray.  We have to understand, life happens.    The word happens means to take place; come to pass; or to occur.   It doesn't mean to have control and to know it all.  Sometimes when things happen in our lives, it is far beyond our control.    But what we have to understand is, God is all seeing, all knowing, and well able to take care of us when things are happening to us in life.  

We have to know the purpose behind prayer.   We have to understand that God has given us a door of access to Him.   He wants us to call on Him, to come to Him, and to rest in Him.   He wants us to recognize our need for Him.   He never told us to walk this walk alone.   As a matter of fact, He told us that He would never leave us nor forsake us.    We have to stop trying to figure things out and work them out on our own.   Our Father sees all, knows all, and is well able to take care of it all (EVERYTHING THAT CONCERNS OUR LIVES).  

The instructions we have when we are in the midst of a fire are to stop, drop, and roll.   We have to understand, when we are in the midst of the fires of life, we have to stop, drop, AND PRAY.    That means stop what you are doing when you are trying to work it out on your own.   It means to let go of it.  The Bible says to cast your cares on God because He cares for you.   It means to pray in faith believing God HAS ALREADY worked it out on your behalf.    Remember ... PRAYER WORKS only if you pray.   How can you expect a result if you are so distracted and never take time to pray?   Walk in obedience and work the principles in God's Word and watch God's Word work for you.  

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 
Matthew 11:28-2 (KJV)28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
