First Peter 5:7 > “
. . . casting all your anxiety on Him, because He
cares for you.” By coming to the altar or making a place of prayer where you are, you declare that you believe Jesus cares for
you and that His care is enough.
- He cares for your body, soul, spirit, relationships, finances, future, etc.
- He promises to provide all your needs (Phil. 4:19).
When you pray, that is, talk to Him, be . . .
- Urgent. Get right down to business. Don't hesitate. Avoid distraction. Speak respectfully, but talk boldly.
- Honest. Don't sugarcoat your need. Tell Jesus how you feel, what you think, how things are affecting you. Speak respectfully, but talk to Jesus as if He doesn't know anything that's happening in your life. Use simple words. You don't have to impress Him.
- Persistent. Don't make this the last time you bring the matter to Jesus. Keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking until Jesus gives you a clear answer.
- Trusting. Believe that God has your best interest in mind and that it is His specialty to accomplish His will for you (Phil. 2:13). Believe in Jesus' amazing track record.
