Pause … and pray

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

When the people spoke of stoning David

Beloved, I realize that in our everyday lives, we are constantly being faced with challenges, difficult situations that require us to respond. Most times, it is easy to start talking about it, fretting, getting upset, but we need to remember to pause and pray. Our Father in heaven has told us in 1 Peter 5v7 (AMP) that “Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.” Hallelujah. In the text above, we see a very distraught people – their families had been carried away, their homes had been plundered. They reacted based on their emotions and wanted to kill David. David on the other hand inquired of the Lord, he went to seek the Lord on the matter. Remember dear ones that God is a shield for us, our glory and the lifter up of our heads (Psalm 3v3). We need to come to the point of come what may – Lord You are in charge, I commit this situation into Your hands, come and take control, come and have Your way in Jesus name, amen.

Prayer

Father, I thank You for Your Word this day. Please grant me the grace to always remember to pray about everything, to be quick to commit all into Your hands, knowing that You care for me in Jesus name, amen.
