Aug 2 ~ KEEPING AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE IN PRAYER:  KEEP PRAYER FIRST!

Philippians 4:6 “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

For me, Philippians 4:6 means “don’t worry about the cares of this world, but take everything to God in prayer.”  Sometimes, we get so caught up in our problems and in the things of this world that we forget that God is all-knowing. He knows what we need before we even ask but He wants us to bring these needs to Him in prayer.  When we pray, we can give Him thanks in advance for what He is going to do, what He is doing and thank Him again for what He has already done.  Today, let’s not dwell on our problems, but keep prayer first by laying all of our burdens at Jesus’ feet.
