"Pray Before Every Decision."

Have you ever noticed that when people have a problem, the first thing they do is ask someone else for advice? Why do we ask others their opinion about our problems or concerns when they probably have as many or more concerns than we do ourselves?

The first thing we need to do is go to God through prayer. We should praise God in our prayers before we whine and complain about things that are not going right in our lives. God already knows what we need and when we need it.

Our prayers to God should not be viewed as a wish list. Prayers do not push God to do what we request. Prayers demonstrate faith to our Lord that we know He already has everything in His hands and will not leave us.

If someone comes to you for advice, the first thing you should do is ask them to pray with you. We should learn to practice living our lives as happily as possible during difficult times.

Being unhappy or negative will not fix your troubles. Keeping a positive attitude and being happy during difficult times reveals strong faith.

Praise God through everything!

Will you remember to praise God in your prayers before asking for His help?

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
