Send God a text message today

I heard a statistic on NPR (National Public Radio) today that said teenagers send around 2200 text messages per month! This is staggering considering the time, effort, and concentration it takes to send just one text message for most adults.

How often do we pray? Do we pray 2200 times a month? 200 times per month? 20? My point? If we prayed to God more, just a fraction of the number of text messages generation 'Y' sends and receive, we'd be some powerful, spirit filled people!

It doesn't take much to pray. Pray in the morning, pray in the afternoon, pray in the evening, and pray at night. The more you pray, the closer you'll get to God and the more you'll experience Him and his guidance and favor. The less you pray to God, the more evil will tempt you and you will likely fall prey to it.

Seek God. He is faster than a text message and closer to you than air.

Why is God good? (a short note)

 ¹Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. (Psalm 106:1, King James Version)

God is good because there is always hope in Him. When no one cares -He cares. When no one believes in you -He knows and holds your future in His hands. When trouble comes -He is strong and might and able to deliver you from all your trouble.

 ¹⁹Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. (Psalm 34:19, King James Version)

This note is intended to encourage anyone feeling stressed or troubled. If you feel down right now, just know that:

 ⁵For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. (Psalm 30:5, King James Version)
