THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
Mom and her five year old son and I were headed to McDonald's one day. They passed a car accident.
Usually when they saw something terrible like that, they would say a prayer for those who might be hurt, so Mom pointed and said to her son, "We should pray."
From the back seat she heard his earnest request: "Please, God, don't let those cars block the entrance to McDonald's."

Matt 26:41
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

What Jesus said to the disciples in The Garden of Gethsemane that night should be taken literally by all Christians today.
Even though our "spirit is indeed willing," our "flesh is weak."
It's a continual battle!
We have NEED for prayer!
There are wonderful results from earnest prayer:
A fresh closeness with Christ is known,
Temptations fall away,
Mind and body is made stronger,
Scripture is more open for understanding,
God's Spirit moves in you and brings immediate comfort and aid.
You will find that PEACE is one of the greatest results of prayer.
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." (Isa 26:3)
Also, prayer provides PURPOSE in your life.
Perhaps you're trying to please too many people.
PURPOSE is found in pleasing God FIRST!
PRAY! And as Paul said, "Pray without ceasing." (1Thess. 5:17)
Be in a constant attitude of prayer.
Love ya,
