Philippians 4: 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Paul is wrapping up his letter. He follows this verse with a promise that this prayerful attitude will lead to the "peace that passes all understanding."
This sums up my struggle all too well. I know that I should approach all situations prayerfully, but I become self- reliant. Only when the situation becomes intolerable do I try prayer. I believe that my faith can move mountains, and I know that God is always there for me, but I don't fall into His loving arms when I should.
Prayer: Lord, I am a weak servant. I don't turn to You when I know that I could. Instead I rely on my prideful self. Guide me to hear Your voice initially ,before disaster strikes.
Amen
