First Response
Sometimes I marvel at how long we can struggle in a situation before we think to talk to God about it and listen for His voice. We complain about our problems; we grumble; we murmur; we tell our friends; and we talk about how we wish God would do something about it. We struggle with situations in our minds and in our emotions, while we often fail to take advantage of the simplest solution there is: prayer. But worse than that, we then make perhaps the most ridiculous statement known to man: "Well, I guess all I can do is pray." I am sure you have heard that before and maybe you have even said it. We all have. We are all guilty of treating prayer as a last-ditch effort and saying things like, "Well, nothing else is working, so maybe we should pray." Do you know what that tells me? It tells me that we really do not believe in the power of prayer as we should. We carry burdens we do not need to bear - and life is much harder than it has to be - because we do not realize how powerful prayer is. If we did, we would talk to God and listen to what He says about everything, not as a last resort, but as a first response.
God's word for you today: Let prayer be your first response, not your last resort.

Om den här läsplanen
I dagens värld omges vi av brus. Vi blir överväldigade av rösterna runt omkring oss - våra barn, vänner, partners, till och med oss själva. När vi distraheras av dessa ljud glömmer vi att lyssna på den viktigaste rösten av alla - Guds röst. Den här andakten erbjuder korta, styrkande påminnelser som kommer inspirera och hjälpa dig att prioritera tiden med Gud, utveckla en passion för daglig tid med Honom, förstå Hans gensvar på dina böner och bevara dina relationer samtidigt som du tillbringar mer tid med Gud. Börja din dag med någon som inte bara älskar dig mer än du kan föreställa dig utan även har alla svar du någonsin kommer behöva!
