Devotion

“Don’t pray when it rains if you don’t pray when the sun shines.”

Pray Some Praise!
(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

God never tires of hearing our prayers. He is always present and listening. The thing is, He deserves to hear from us more than He does. Just as He wants to hear our prayers for help, He also wants to hear our prayers of praise and gratitude toward Him. His blessings are constant and abundant, but we often fall silent in prayers that express our rejoicing over God being God! Maybe we get too comfortable in our good times, and we forget He’s the reason our times are good. And yet, we don’t have a problem inviting Him to join us when we have difficulties. Our God deserves better than that. His love for us abounds in all things! Surely, our love for Him is such that we can keep His prayer line vibrantly active with our praises!
