I’ve thought about this verse for a number of years.
I Peter 5:7:
Casting all your care upon him [God]; for he careth for you.

Lord, I know I don’t deserve, any of Your grace,
But I’m thankful that I have it, through my many days.
Lord, I need Your mercy, for when I make mistakes,
And Your kind forgiveness, each time my conscience breaks.

How to Pray
God wants us to love and trust Him, as a small child confides in parents. That open-hearted communication with the Father is called prayer. Jesus showed us how to pray.

Bless the Lord, O My Soul!
I am thankful to God for a whole litany of things, both the prayers He has answered, and the requests that I expect He will answer. And every Thanksgiving season, I run through the list, expressing great thankfulness to my heavenly Father for all He has done and will do in my life and in the lives of my loved ones.

Give Thanks. In Everything.
THANKSGIVING DAY. Today, we are thankful. We all have plenty to be thankful for. We could each most likely go on for hours about all we have to be thankful for. But can we be thankful in ANY circumstance?
I Thessalonians 5:16-18:
Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks…
Let’s continue in prayer
With all of our heart.
Speaking in tongues—
Always a fresh start.
A few days ago I climbed a very steep trail, a narrow dirt path filled with rocky outcrops and littered with slippery stones. As I reached the summit, I was rewarded with a magnificent panorama of the ocean and the beautifully sunlit California coast.

What Does Our Father Want?
When you first wake up, what do you think about? Maybe it’s what you need to do that day, or what’s for breakfast, or even how to help a spouse or children? Those are all important, but our first and continued thought throughout the day really should be “What does my Father want?” We want to be well pleasing to Him.

Pray. Always.
God tells us, His kids, to pray always. But in my early years as a believer, busy with family, job, school, friends, fellowship, traveling, and all those things that seem to keep us busy, I neglected my prayer time with God. Troubles would come up and I’d get serious about it for a while until I received God’s deliverance, then back to busy.
