Give a lot of time and effort to prayer. Always be watchful and thankful. Colossians 4:2 NIRV

God finds the way to reach us. He orchestrates the rhythm of our days and teaches how it feels to be grateful. He grows our faith and helps us welcome the peace of Jesus, when we prayerfully accept the offering of His love. 

Sometimes, we forget who designs our days and arms us with everything we need to find strength. We neglect to trust in God and need to be reminded who’s in charge of ALL things. We focus on the worry of wonder and forget to simply pray! 

Christ prepares us for the circumstances in our days. He teaches how to remain faithful. And, when the timing is right, He places peace in our hearts. He helps us find HOPE in the promise of His presence and readies us to find rest in Him. 

When He has fine-tuned our lives, God will blend our thankfulness with the gift of His amazing grace. He will allow us to witness the offering of mercy and love. If we prayerfully praise Him for ALL things, He will reward our faithfulness. He will ALWAYS welcome the prayers of our praise. 

Dear God, Thank you for Your presence in our lives. Forgive us when we allow distractions of the world to silence our prayers of praise. YOU are deserving of our love. We will trust You with all of our hearts and find reason to make a joyful noise. And, we will prayerfully welcome another day of purpose, as we remember how lucky we are to be loved by You. Amen
