When we reach the end of our rope, we often turn to God in desperation, which is a natural response. We should pray in times of trouble and despair, reaching out to God for encouragement, comfort, and direction.
Sometimes, though, we are slow to pray when difficulties and problems arise. We are stubborn, and we try to muddle through on our own, rather than burdening anyone else -- including God. It would be better if we found time to pray sooner rather than later, allowing God to directly help us with our challenges.
The curse of sin for this world is that we will all encounter many headaches and heartaches in our lives. God's promise to us, however, is that He will be with us through such times of trouble, however dark they may be, consoling us in our distress and guiding our steps, easing our burdens, and leading us to the light.
Today's Prayer Prompt: When you lose your temper or find yourself frustrated today, take a deep breath and offer a prayer.
