Pray

Pray, and let God worry. -- Martin Luther

But I keep right on praying to you, LORD, hoping this is the time you will show me favor. In your unfailing love, O God, answer my prayer with your sure salvation. Pull me out of the mud; don't let me sink any deeper! Rescue me from those who hate me, and pull me from these deep waters. Don't let the floods overwhelm me, or the deep waters swallow me, or the pit of death devour me. 16 Answer my prayers, O LORD, for your unfailing love is wonderful. Turn and take care of me, for your mercy is so plentiful. Psalms 69:13-1613

Jesus said that "where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them". We need Jesus in our midst, so we need to pray together with other believers. Matthew 18:20

Interesting quote from Martin Luther: ..let God worry.. :) I believe "worry" is a strong word that may show the weakness of God. It would be more of a "determination".. God will determine what has been prayed for on His own time.. :)

Hi Dennis, Ellie told me to check out your blog and I am glad I did. Judging from your last few posts we seem to have very similar view on what discipleship means. Thanks for the posts and God Bless!
