“Travel light” in "PRAYER"

Do you see it now?
I mean the meaning of the title of this series, I feel like to me it has been an eye opener. Day by day I’m traveling with heavy weights on my shoulders, I’m trying to take the world and show the world I’m a hero, trying to be god. Trying to fix everything and everyone and in the middle losing sight of THE real relationship this whole situation has laid right in front of my eyes. See everything is stopping outside but I am actually going faster than ever.
God is actually saying slow down and look up to me, seek me.... and this is where today’s message from our lead Pastor is all about. The connection between men and God. Prayer.

Men+prayer=closeness/stronger relationship with God.

“if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NIV

The purpose of prayer is not as much to GET OUT OF difficult circumstances but instead to get us THROUGH THEM!

“Pray then like this: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:9-13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Then he said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me." And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will."”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭26:38-39‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:6-9‬ ‭NLT‬‬
