The Sweet Relief of Prayer

"What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear,
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit!
O what needless pain we bear!
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in Prayer!"

So, I'm at a crossroads in life. And I don't know whether to go to the right or to the left. Both roads pose difficulties and both pose opportunities. How easy it is to just want to hide my face in the sand, and stand still, not moving.

But when God says go, we have to go! I don't have wisdom, and worldly wisdom says either road will be hard....God says if anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask from God who gives generously and it will be given to Him! That is a sweet promise! If we ask in faith! God, thank you for starting and finishing our faith! Thank you, for the SWEET RELIEF that prayer is!

In a world of uncertainty and chaos and confusion, we can rest in God because:
God is Eternal. God is Unchanging. God is Strong. God is Faithful. God is Righteous. God never makes a mistake. God never breaks a promise. God's Word is tried and true. God cannot be perplexed. God created and sustains each one of us, each breath we take is a breath he created in us. God will provide. God knows all things and orders all things. God is sovereign, reigning in goodness over all of creation. God is our Victory. God invites his children near by the blood of Jesus. God's will cannot be thwarted. God's purposes will prevail. God has overcome Satan, and he will one day destroy him completely. God is coming back for his children, to bring them into everlasting joy!

What a God! What a Father! What a Friend! What a Lover! What a King! What a Savior!
