A Prayer to Not Hit the Panic Button

What does it really mean to bring everything—big or small—to God in prayer?

In today's episode by Nicolet Bell we look at Philippians 4:6 and we are reminded that Paul, who had every reason to be anxious, encourages us to pray in every situation with thanksgiving. Prayer is not our last resort—it’s our first and best response. As John Wesley once wrote, “Prayer is our grand means of drawing nearer to God.”

Reference: Philippians 4:6

Prayer: Father, help me to seek you in prayer daily as my first and best response. Please help me not to hit the panic button until I speak to you. I trust that you will meet me when I come to you in prayer, helping me release my anxieties and exchanging them for thankfulness. Show me how to make praying for my family a priority. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
