("Pray To Receive Christ")

-- Matthew 7:7-8
7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.



The Difference

I got up early one morning
And rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I didn't have time to Pray.

Problems just tumbled about me
And heavier came each task;
Why doesn't God help me? I wondered
He said, "But you didn't Ask."

I wanted to see joy and beauty
But the day toiled on, gray and bleak ;
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said, "But you didn't Seek."

I tried to come into God's presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't Knock."

I woke up early this morning
And paused before entering the day.
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to Pray!

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by Prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

-- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
16 Be joyful always; 17 Pray continually; 18 Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.




Always Say A Prayer (A.S.A.P.)

There's work to do, deadlines to meet,
You've got no time to spare,
But as you hurry and scurry,
Always say a Prayer.

In the midst of family chaos,
"Quality time" is rare.
Do your best; let God do the rest:
Always say a Prayer.

It may seem like your worries are
More than you can bear.
Slow down and take a breather-
Always say a Prayer.

God knows how stressful life is;
He wants to ease our cares,
And He'll respond ASAP-
Always say a Prayer!

28 Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

-- John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Dear God

So far today I have done all right.
I haven't gossiped.
I haven't lost my temper.
I haven't been greedy, grumpy,
nasty, selfish or overindulgent.

I am very thankful for that!

But in a few minutes, Lord,
I am going to get out of this bed,
And from then on,
I'm probably going to need a lot more help.

Amen
