Pray First



When do you start to pray?

How bad does a situation or circumstance have to get before you start looking beyond your ability to control it?

There is an interesting verse tucked way back in 2 Chronicles (16:12).

In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek help from the LORD, but only from the physicians.

Wow! Sounds pretty modern in some ways, doesn’t it?

We need to pray early, often, and first. I like to ponder this expression attributed to various ones.

Pray as if everything depends upon God and work like it depends upon you.

Think about that today, but the main thing to take away is to begin with prayer. A Monday morning prayer will make a difference in how this week unfolds.

Why not go ahead and say a prayer now?
