With God all things are possible

| Have you tried to pray, and the right words just don't seem to come to you? Did you think to turn to the Bible in order to pray with the ancient saints? Surely, your already know that God's Word is a book of morals and principles and stories about God and his people. Did you ever think of the Bible as a treasure trove of prayer?
Matthew 6:9-13 also Luke 11:2-4
Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. They kingdom come they will be done in earth, as it is is heaven. Give this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen
This prayer is the prayer of all prayers! It's the best example and pattern of how we are to pray. And Jesus himself taught it.
Jesus' prayer addresses God as our Father, it uplifts his character; it longs for the approach of his kingdom and the completion of his will; it requests what we need for day to day living; it pleads not only for forgiveness but also for divine help to forgive others; it petitions God's guidance toward doing what's right and not doing what's wrong.
Jude 20 Beloved, build yourselves up on the most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit.
2 Kings 6:17 Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see
2 Kings 20:3 Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what was good in Yôur sight.
Job 42:2-6 I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted. you asked, Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?" Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. You said, " Listen, and I will speak; I will question you and you shall answer me." My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you, Therfore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.
Job didnt realize that he was a human battlefield in cosmic contest between God and Satan. He'd been through so much; he'd suffered physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. But WITH his TRUST RENEWED, he admitted his own foolishness and surrendered to God's almighty greatness to fulfill his will. may we submit to Christ's will each moment of our lives.
For it is WITH God all things are possible.
Have a BLESSED Wednesday
PRAY!
Father God, guide me today to do all things that will bring glory and honor to You Amen
