Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, we are commanded to be instant in PRAYER which implies that we carry with us a Spirit of Prayer!
Let Love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is GOOD.
Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly Love, in Honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in Hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in PRAYER; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to Hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you; Bless and do not curse.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for Good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live Peaceably with all men.
Bible LINK = Romans 12:9-18
Dear ones, this ATTITUDE should be read out loud every morning & noon & night as a reminder that we must BE CHRIST-LIKE in ALL that we SAY and in ALL that we DO!
We know for certain that the pendulum of our lives swings back and forth from one extreme to another. We strive to regulate our situations by REJECTING everything that is EVIL and EMBRACING everything that is GOOD, wholesome, and HONEST.
Here is what JESUS says about PRAYER:
Therefore, I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, Oh you of little Faith?
Therefore, do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles (non-believers) seek. For your Heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Bible LINK = Matthew 6:25-34
We know for certain that one of the Names for The LORD our GOD is Jehovah-Jireh which translated means GOD is my PROVIDER! LINK = Genesis 22:14
Remember that Prayer is NOT begging GOD for things nor to do things we “think” need to be done. Our Heavenly Father knows what we NEED even before we ASK Him!
Prayer is a dialogue between two or more Spiritual Beings in order to form an AGREEMENT about circumstances and/or events. Our world has BALANCE & STRUCTURE that flows with each passing season. This LIFE has a cycle of renewal each springtime and in harvest time, a cycle of sowing and reaping. All of the while our Redeemer stands ready, willing, and extremely able to take care of ALL our needs.
Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
This seems like a redundant question, but my answer is either full of FAITH or FEAR!
Remember that we must NOT let the doubts that are in our heads overcome the Faith that is in our hearts. LINK = 1John 3:19-24

The sparrow’s not worried about tomorrow or the troubles to come
The lily’s not thinking about the seasons the drought or the flood
A tree that’s planted by the water isn’t phased by the fire
So WHY should I be?
Cause You take GOOD CARE of me! You take GOOD CARE of me!
You know what I NEED before I even ask a thing
And You hold me in Your Hands with a Kindness that never ends
I’m carried in Your LOVE no matter what the future brings
You take GOOD CARE of me!
The sun’s not worried about the winter cause soon it will pass
The Light’s not thinking about the darkness or the shadow it casts
A heart that’s planted in forgiveness doesn’t dwell in the past
So WHY should I be?
Cause You take GOOD CARE of me! You take GOOD CARE of me!
You know what I NEED before I even ask a thing
And You hold me in Your Hands with a Kindness that never ends
I’m carried in Your LOVE no matter what the future brings
You take GOOD CARE of me!
I know there must be more, but I can’t get past Your Kindness
I know there’s got to be more, but I can’t get past Your Goodness
You take GOOD CARE of me! You take GOOD CARE of me!
You know what I NEED before I even ask a thing
And You hold me in Your Hands with a Kindness that never ends
I’m carried in Your LOVE no matter what the future brings
You take GOOD CARE of me!
THANKS BE to GOD who gives us His Victory through our LORD & Savior – Christ Jesus!
