Fly to God in Prayer

Fly to God in Prayer

Fly to God in PrayerWhat do you do when you encounter any kind of problem, frustration or hindrance? Your response speaks volumes about your coping skills. Because, as we all know, full of aforementioned happenings. Life is tough and requires problem-solving skills and fast attitude adjustments if we want to live well. So. What do you do when something unexpected and perhaps unwanted happens? Do you swear, yell or punch someone? Or do you fly to God in prayer?

God, come close. Come quickly!
    Open your ears—it’s my voice you’re hearing!
Treat my prayer as sweet incense rising;
    my raised hands are my evening prayers.
(Psalm 141:1-2, MSG)

Fly to God in prayer

Do fly to God in prayer because prayer is pretty much the best way to cope with anything. When we welcome God into our life as it is, we can relax and rest as we take refuge in God. Prayer is an awesome way to rise above our circumstances and while we do it we get another perspective on things. We realize we are not alone even in this mess we are in. God is in control and he has a solution that we don’t know about. Hence we can trust our prayers do make a difference and the solution is on the way.

The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with. (James 5:16, MSG)

Never underestimate the power of prayer

It’s always more than you can imagine. So don’t live without it. Don’t use prayer as your last resource but as your first response to anything and everything. Then your life will change for better. You get an attitude of thanksgiving and trust and that will change your whole way of life.

Be persistent and devoted to prayer, being alert and focused in your prayer life with an attitude of thanksgiving. (Col. 4:2, AMP)

Whenever you don’t know what to do, fly to God in prayer. If you’re stuck, pray to God. When you’re feeling down, don’t hesitate, fly to God in prayer. If you’ve lost something, pray, God hears you. Prayer is always the answer because it lifts you up into the arms of God. It blesses you in ways than you will never know. Pray your way through troubled waters. Fly to God in prayer daily.

 

Gracious God,
Thanks for giving us the gift of prayer.
Help us to remember it,
make it our first response to anything and everything.
We want to abide in you,
have a continual conversation with you.
Show us how wonderful prayer life can really be.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen

  1. Such a wonderful post. I am so grateful the Lord knew I was one who would run and so taught me early on the power of flying to Him in prayer. It has made the difference in my life. Beautiful and wise thoughts, Mari-Anna!

  2. All of this really resonated with me. I’ve been trying to get into the habit of going to GOD FIRST, instead of getting angry and behaving badly as a result. It seems the world is in complete chaos. But I bet MOST of us on here finally see what the world is all about. Hollow materialism, chaos – there is no safety here, but there is in the Lord. If you are in the boat, on the sea of life, being battered and torn and thrown about – KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS – DON’T LOOK AT THE RAGING WATERS AROUND YOU, FOR HE WILL NOT FAIL YOU… HE HAS PROMISED TO TAKE YOU SAFELY TO THE OTHER SIDE. GOD WILL OUTLAST YOUR STORM – ALWAYS KEEP THIS IN MIND. I got this from one of Tammy Faye’s songs… I know too many Christians who don’t like her, but I sure did… she was the REAL DEAL. Always an arrow pointing up to God… even through cancer, the humiliation of losing her and Jim’s ministry, and many other BIG troubles in her life that without the Lord would overtake her. The same goes for us. Always look up. Get in the habit, with me, of always flying to God in times of trouble.
