Monday Manna

Morning  Sweet Friends,

Haven't done a Monday Manna

post in awhile, mainly because

of time restraints, but had these

thoughts come this morning, so

thought it would be a good Monday Manna post and reminder for me

as well as others.

Is anyone else feeling like you

 can't trust anything anymore?? 

 What they are putting in our food or not putting in our food that they say they are?? Course, that is just one thing, among what seems like a jillion other things, but Hubby and I were talking about the food thing just the other day, and it occurred to me that why do you think the Lord tells you to pray about everything???

 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7 niv

Cause He already knows about all this and so many other irrational crazy things that are

 going on these days.

So my encouragement to myself

 and to all of you who are reading...

Is start praying about everything, 

 just like he says. If you haven't

been, then start..., it takes practice

but if you realize the seriousness

of it all, it is crucial to just get started.....

Make a goal for yourself,

start with praying about  2 or 3

 things a day and then keep adding

 to the list, as it will become

a good habit...........it might even

help to intentionally write them.

Then we can relax, and have the 

Peace he promises cause we know

 HE has got this all too.  

You do not have because you do not ask God.  When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

James 4:2-3 niv

I pray about a lot of things,

 but I think as we navigate

 this life, I think he is truly

trying to teach all of us to pray without ceasing, and just like

giving thanks I think it is more 

for our benefit than we can ever imagine, and it is no longer an option -

 it is a very necessary survival skill in our world today!!

 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing,  give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 niv

It is my hope that this will help

someone today to be less stressed

and more peaceful. It sure helps

to keep me out of the ditch....

Love and Blessings,

Nellie
