Thanksgiving Day 4

Day 4


I am actually doing day 4 and 5 on a this Sunday. No excuse is good enough for putting off my bible study.


1 Thessalonians 5:12-18




S.O.A.P.


Scripture : 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
¹⁶ Rejoice always, ¹⁷ pray continually, ¹⁸ give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.


Observation
The translation above is NIV, my personal bible is English Standard Version and I personally like the way it phrases verse 17 better.  Simply put it says, "Pray with out ceasing"


Application
All too often we try to fix things are selves and say  a little prayer that the situation will get better and when it don't we wonder why (Guilty!!) in reality we need to pray about the situation "without ceasing" and let God fix it.  We also need to rejoice always, when praying about a situation that may be taking our hole focus we must remember that there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for! We must rejoice and thank Him in our times of need.


Prayer


Dear Lord,


I thank you for this beautiful day and my family, I thank you for the life inside of me that's moving constantly while I do my bible study. I pray you keep him safe, alive and healthy with continuous growth. I pray you watch over my family Lord, keep us safe from harm.
I also still pray for my work situation, I feel better about some things others...not so much. I give it to you and I ask for peace in all situations. I also Thank you for the jobs we have.


Please be with my friends who need you Lord, those who don't know you I ask they find you.  I thank you for my friends Lord.


Amen,
