PRAYER -- THE LAST RESORT

How many times do we get all worked up over what might happen, what could happen, and it never happens? When fear dominates us, faith must flee. After exhausting all other options, many people pray.

LAST RESORT PRAYER GUIDE:

PRAISE GOD.  Acknowledge His goodness, His greatness, and His past faithfulness. God knows about the mess we are in. He cares. 

CONFESS our selfish motives and agendas. When we confess our sin and unworthiness, it frees God to move and act in our behalf. 

BE THANKFUL.  Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

STATE YOUR PETITION: "Lord, help."  God longs for us to seek Him and bring our petitions to Him. We should study and claim His promises.

Is prayer the last resort in your life? Where is your faith?
