Be Persistent and Devoted to Prayer with an attitude of Thanksgiving

Be persistent and devoted to prayer, being alert and focused in your prayer life with an attitude of thanksgiving.
COLOSSIANS 4:2 AMP

Glory be to God for the blessings of a brand new day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Jesus Christ taught us to pray during His time here on earth, Apostle Paul also admonished that we pray without ceasing. This morning the scripture is also challenging us to be persistent and devoted to Prayer.

We need to understand that prayer is not a burden but our communication with the Heavenly Father so it must be regular. And as we speak we must also make time to listen to God.

Thanksgiving and adoration must be part of our prayer, we must always acknowledge His supremacy and greatness. Our thanksgiving prayers should embrace appreciation for the things that He has done and the anticipated things He will do.

May God grant us the grace in multiples to live for Him and stay devoted and persistent in our prayer lives, may our thanksgiving always be made to God in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Choose Prayer and Thanksgiving

Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.
PHILIPPIANS 4:6 AMP

Hallelujah to God for the gift of life and a blessed day in the new year to celebrate the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Apostle Paul charged the church in Philippi to look up to God for all solutions. The cares of life can swallow us up and we may become depressed and frustrated in life.

During the ministry of Jesus, He taught us that even in our anxious moments there is absolutely nothing that we can do, we cannot even add a strand of hair to what has been given us from above.

The charge by Apostle Paul therefore to pray in whatever situation we find ourselves is the answer we need to move on in this life. We should make our requests known to God the Father who will sort us out!

The scripture says that we should continue to make our requests known to God through our prayers, petitions and thanksgiving. We therefore have to pray all types of prayers and also be consistent in our prayer.

May the Lord help us not to saturate ourselves in anxiety but to call upon His name in all situations, believing that He is God and He will come through for us in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.
