Chaplain’s Column –Ask God, He Will Listen
Did
you know that God always loves the sound of your voice? God never places you on
hold or tells you to call again later. He doesn’t hide when you call. He
listens to all of your prayers.
For that reason we should “be anxious for
nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let
your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6). With this verse the
apostle calls us to take action against anxiety. We tell God exactly what we
want. We pray the particulars of our problems.
Remember that what
Jesus said to the blind man, applies to us as well. “What do you want me to do
for you?” (Luke 18:41 NIV). One would think the answer would be obvious. When a
sightless man requests Jesus’ help, isn’t it apparent what he needs? Yet Jesus
wanted to hear the man articulate his specific requests. He wants the same from
us. “Let your requests be made known to God!”
I would like to wish everyone a very blessed
Thanksgiving and please don’t forget to remember to pray for all those that are
on our prayer list.
