Last Sunday, Gregg spoke a message on prayer that has dramatically changed the way I pray. I’ve heard many messages on prayer before, but this message brought a fresh perspective and new challenge. Here’s just a brief summary:
Uncertainty in our life can often reveal some of our deepest insecurities and greatest fears. When we experience uncertainty, we can choose to be ridden with anxiety or we can pray until the peace comes.
The reason that we’re often overwhelmed with anxiety is because we’ve not asked God to stand guard over our hearts and minds. We ask him to stand guard over our job, our finances, our children and our health, but we allow our hearts and minds to be devoured by stress and anxiety.
It is in praying, discovering and revealing to God our deepest desires and fears that we experience intimacy with God and the peace of God. God promises amazing peace when we take the time to search our hearts, and reveal to God the deepest desires of our heart.
Although three brief paragraphs don’t really accurately communicate the point, my amateur computer skills will attempt to link the full message here. Hope that worked.
“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7
