No Prayer is too Small for our Lord to Handle

Prayer has unbelievable benefits to us, even when we’re just praying about a lost set of car keys or finding our cell phone. Praying for the little things, as well as the big things, helps us to acknowledge our dependence on God. When we become so self-sufficient that we don’t leave room for God’s ideas, creativity, and resources, then we’re deliberately unplugging from our greatest source of supply. It’s like unplugging a lamp from its electrical supply. No electricity — no light! And when we choose to plug into God’s unlimited power, an abundance of God’s grace, wisdom and understanding comes flowing to us.

When we choose to seek God’s provision for something seems as insignificant as a parking place or just-the-right wording of a letter, or the most effective words to give in a speech, or what clothes to wear to the office, we’re acknowledging that we want and need God’s direction in every aspect of our day. We’re inviting Him to be the end-authority of every last detail of our life. And that kind of praying gives us hundreds of opportunities, everyday, for sweet communion with God.

Three days in a row, this scripture bears repeating, Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
