Prayer Service
Do you need a new
pain-killer?
Do you ever take pain killers? If so, do
you take one for your shoulder, and another one for you knee? Of course not - once the
painkiller enters your bloodstream, it goes everywhere, soothing and damping down the
pain, and hitting all the right spots.
God works a bit like that on the pain in
our lives. He has a prescription for ALL the problem areas of our lives. Most of us carry
emotional scars, or a burden, or some heartache, around with us. It may be the trauma of
loss, it may be anxiety for our family. It may be uncertainty over our jobs, and our
futures.
Whatever it is, God offers us a
prescription to help the pain. The psalmist writes: "God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1) Jesus added: "Come to me, all you
who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
(Matthew 11:28)
This kind of help is real and immediate and
there for the asking. We don't have to put up with our dis-ease and struggle alone. God,
our heavenly father, is only a prayer away. Not just twice a day, after meals, but
whenever we need him.
