Friday, February 5, 2021 Replace Your Complaints with Prayers "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done" (Philippians 4:6 NLT). There's nothing wrong with praying about what you need. If you have a need, bring it to God. The Bible even says, "You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures" (James 4:3 NKJV). But if God doesn't come through as quickly as you want Him to, don't falsely accuse Him. Actually, I think it's a good idea to write down the things the Lord has done for us because we can forget sometimes. That is what happened to the Israelites in the wilderness. They started complaining because they weren't reflecting on all that God had done for them. Just look, however, at what He did. He spared them in Egypt and didn't allow the plagues to come upon them. He freed them from slavery, parted the Red Sea, and destroyed the Egyptian army. Then He led them step-by-step through the wilderness with the best GPS ever: fire at night and a cloud during the day. He fed them with manna. And they complained. Now, think about what God has done for you as a follower of Jesus Christ (because He's done a lot already). First, He saved you from Hell. He brought you out of darkness into His light. He forgave all your sins and filled you with the Holy Spirit.   CONTINUE READING →
