Are you anxious about things? Are you fearful?  Are you burdened?  May you look to Jesus who says, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” How do you come to Him? You pray. So, with that, let’s turn to why we should pray.

When You Pray….

1. We pray because it is how we communicate with God.
2. We pray because Jesus prayed and He expects us to pray.
3. We pray because God grants us the power to pray in the Spirit. 
4. We pray because it helps us not be anxious about anything. 

Philippians 4:6-8 says, 

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is an excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

John 16:33

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Isaiah 26:3

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”

Who is God? He is Peace.

Who are you in Him? You are peaceful.

Here are two beautiful songs that I encourage you to listen to.

“Perfect Peace” by Laura Story
