Prayer Still Works (4.23.22)

My Child,

I See that something very heavy, is on your mind.
Do not let these thoughts take you captive.

You must take control.
You must pray.
You must roll these anxious thoughts over to Me.

If not, worry and anxiety will affect your body and your spirit.

In no way is worrying beneficial.  It will not fix anything.

So, take your thoughts captive.  And turn worrying around, with prayer. Use those same anxious thoughts - and form strong prayers. Take what the enemy is bringing against you; and cause it to backfire on him.

Prayer is always the best defense to take.  Especially when anxiety enters your life.

I Know, Child.  Sometimes it’s hard.  However, for such a time as this; and in times like these - when it’s hardest to pray.... You must pray.

Offer a sacrifice of prayer and praise, when all around you dictates the opposite.

Take those thoughts captive, and turn to Me.

Reflect on the times past when you prayed, and things like this worked out for your good.

Prayer still works.
Nothing has changed.

 

Read and Meditate on God's Word

Luke 18:1 - And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
