As the song goes: "Say a little prayer for me!" Ephesians 6:18


Good morning all.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
   Yesterday was an awesome day worshiping God.  Look at Ephesians 6: 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.        
   Look at this verse, in other versions it says to pray at all times and you may think, hmmm, how?  One way is to make quick, brief prayers a habit for anything that happens throughout the day.  Now you do not need to drop on your knees, face the East, have a prayer rug, raise hands and bow down to do your prayer. If you want to okay, however, just a quick "thank you Jesus" in your mind when something happens.
   This says for all kinds of prayers and all kinds of request -- keep in mind not all that will happen is good.  Our minds do tend to wander, just do a little drill, set you watch or phone to silently beep every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 or whatever; and each time it does find something somewhere around you to just say a quick prayer for.
    You may be golfing and make a putt - a quick thank you Jesus works.  You may be working and need to use the facility - thank you Jesus we have indoor plumbing.  Now, I am playing with you a little here, but want you to understand the point.  A quick prayer anytime, anywhere, in your mind and God hears.
    We are living in a world full of idols, things to get our minds off God; to walk fully in the world is constantly there as a temptation; then we find it too difficult to give God an hour or two on Sunday.  We should be giving back daily, continually!  Jesus gave it all for you - can't you give at least a little back?  Just 10 quick prayers today for a start.  Christians worldwide and non-Christians all need our prayers.  Will you do your part?  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
