1984 March/April issue Part 4

Prayer

If the frightened chirp of a fallen sparrow reaches the Throne Room of the Lord of the Universe (and the Bible says it does) we can be sure He is not too high to pay attention to our smallest prayers.
Learn to talk to God about everything. It saves so much energy to obey Paul’s words in Philippians 4- “Have no anxiety, but in everything make your requests made known to God in prayer and petition with thanksgiving. Then the peace of God, which is beyond our utmost understanding, will keep guard over your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus.”
Spread before Him in the morning all you have to do that day, all the decisions that “hang over your head” for the next week or next year, the shopping, the interviews, the children, the boss, the lawn and garden, the neighbors, school work, boyfriends, money- you name it, but be sure to name it to Him. Peace will be the result, if you name it with thanksgiving.
