JUST FOR TODAY: Are you praying or complaining???

[Lynn D. Walker]

JUST FOR TODAY: Believers should learn to love to pray!!  Praying is the one thing that ALL believers are commanded to do; pray without ceasing and pray about ALL things!!  Praying for others is the most POWERFUL thing you can do for them, but in James 5:13-18, the first thing we are taught about prayer is individual prayer; pray for YOURSELF!!  "Is any among you afflicted??  Let HIM pray."  Are you afflicted today?  I don't mean just afflicted with some sort of physical sickness.  Are you afflicted with emotional or spiritual problems??  Who isn't "afflicted' with SOMETHING!!!  Then by all means, this scripture is exhorting you to take your case to God Almighty.  PRAY FOR YOURSELF!!  What do you think will do you the most good; praying or complaining??  ~Pastor Lynn
