Pray About The Little Things

           "Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

          1st Thessalonians 5:16-18  

      Today I want to share something with you that will literally transform your life and your relationship with God. Start praying about everything that happens in your life, even the little things.  We have no problem praying to God about the "big things" in our life, but what about the "little things?" What I am talking about are those day-to-day issues that we face that may not seem life-changing, and in the big scheme of things are pretty trivial. Getting a parking place. A problem at the bank with your account. Your water pipes springs a leak. An issue at your job or school. I am talking about literally thousands of daily issues that arise as you are simply living your life. These are the "little things" that we never pray about and try to handle on our own. When we pray about those little things we face each day, we are not only being obedient, and acknowledging our dependence upon the Lord, we are taking the pressure off ourselves. Simply take a moment and ask God to show you the way, help you through whatever the problem may be, guide you in your decisions. After a while, it will become second nature, to pray about everything in your life throughout the day. You will be amazed at how it will transform your daily life.  Not only will you be living in the freedom of His strength, but you will start to live with great confidence because when God is guiding you and directing your steps, life works.  Keep praying about the big things in your life, but now, start even praying about the little things.
