Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
6 لاَ تَقْلَقُوا مِنْ جِهَةِ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ، بَلْ فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ لِتَكُنْ طَلِبَاتُكُمْ مَعْرُوفَةً لَدَى اللهِ، بِالصَّلاَةِ وَالدُّعَاءِ، مَعَ الشُّكْرِ.
Philippians 4:6
Do you think we should pray about every single detail in our lives? God did not exclude anything. What would a child pray about? Jesus said in Mark10:15 “Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” In Psalm 37:23(NLT): The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.
There are some commandments and guidelines that God has given us, so we should not pray to God asking Him obvious things like: God should I love my neighbour? Because He told us we should, however we can pray to God to help us love them. Other than God’s commandments and guidelines, I believe we should pray for every detail in our lives.
We seem to keep prayers only for big demands or crisis. Praying for and about everything keeps us in constant communication and connection with God and that pleases His heart and is very useful for us.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You that You love me so much that You want to fellowship with me all day and You desire that I involve You in all my thoughts and actions. I appreciate that You are omnipresent(available everywhere) omniscient (all knowing), and You are interested in every detail in my life. Help me Lord to develop the habit to pray to You about every detail of my life. Thank You Father God for Your abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your grace upon my life. In the holy name of Jesus, I pray. To Jesus be the glory, the power, the dominion, the majesty, and the blessings forever and ever. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
