Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:6 NIV
The clear cut reason for no anxiety can be understood if we peek ahead to Revelation 19-22. In those chapters, we read of the wedding banquet of the Lamb, the New Jerusalem, and the river of life. The chapters are very encouraging.
In one of Scott's recent teachings, we were taught to pray continually. Here too we are encouraged to pray with petition in everything. Our prayers are to be filled with thanksgiving, not grumbling and presented to God.
We can, through what the Lamb has done for us approach God's throne at any time. We are not limited by the curtain and the one time a year by the high priest restriction under the Mosaic law. God is concerned and is listening.
Are you praying?
Pray to be led by the Spirit to an effective prayer life.
In Christ,
David P
