[Jesus said] “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you”

Luke 11:9

Do I need to pray?

There are times when it almost doesn’t seem worth it to pray. It may be our trouble—like illness or injury—that doesn’t seem bad enough to ask God for his help. There are other times when our problems seem so large and unmanageable that it seems prayer wouldn’t help anyway. But there is never a time when it would be useless to pray.

God wants to hear your prayers, no matter what. You are wrong if you feel that your trouble isn’t bad enough to bother the Almighty. The apostle Peter said to cast all your cares on him—even the little cares.

You are also wrong if you think your troubles are too big and can’t be remedied. God can overthrow all our problems, if he wishes.

More importantly, though, he can give us the strength and courage to face them. What we need most is faith in him. In all troubles, big or small, we can be assured of his forgiving love in Christ Jesus. For this, as well as for any blessings of the body, we should pray without ceasing. God will never ignore our prayers. And his answer will always be the best for us. We have his Word on it.

Prayer:

Lord, teach me to pray in all troubles. Amen.
