Pray!

Yes, that is the tip of the day. How often do we forget to pray? How often do we worry instead of pray?

I grew up with a heritage of prayer. When something went wrong, Mom would gather us all around the couch, kneeling in prayer. Her mom spent the first hour of each day in prayer. Often, we were short on food, clothes, or basic needs as my dad was a pastor of a small church. Where did we turn? God. My parents walked through terrible things with people and turned to God for wisdom and strength. Prayer was the first, middle, and last line of defense. We knew that God would answer prayer. The situation may be difficult, but prayer changed things. God listened and answered.

God does amazing things through prayer. What are you worried about? What is going on in your life? Take it to Him in prayer! You may be right in the middle of a miracle.

Jeremiah 33:3 is one of my favorite verses to remind me of what God does.
