There is a way to find peace. Seek God first in prayer.

Scripture reminds us to:

"Cast all your cares on him because he cares for you", 1 Peter 5:7

"Not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God", Philippians 4:6-7

"Whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith," Matthew 21:22

At Grace Methodist Metroplex, we believe in the power of prayer!

Join us each week as we pray for community, healing, and so much more. "Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven". James 5:13-15

We will:
Pray without ceasing. (1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18)
Pray for peace to come over the world. (1 Timothy 1:7)
Pray for healing the sick. (James 5:14-15)
Pray for strength for those who aren't sick. (3 John 1:2)
Pray for wisdom for those in authority. (1 Timothy 2: 1-2)
Trust in the Lord, trust in His power, trust in His plan and stand firm on His promises.
(Proverbs 3: 5-6)

SITUATION:
Over the course of the last few months people have been moving out of my apartment complex because of their rent increasing when it was time for renewal. I'd heard that rent increases were around $100 or more. Since my lease was to expire soon, I had been working on several budget scenarios - in anticipation of a possible rent increase of "at least $100.
PRAYER:
I kept thinking about my rent increasing so on or around 3/4/2020 I prayed and asked God that my rent increase be less than $100. Oooopppps... That's not what I meant to say.... I meant to say no more than $100. I started to correct my prayer but I didn't because I knew God heard me and my prayer was already before the thrown of God.

I say this because I based my prayer on Mark 11:24 "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive it, and you will have it." I believed I received what I asked for so I moved on. I was at peace.
TESTIMONY:
To my surprise, I received a renewal letter on 3/11/2020. (My lease doesn't expire until June. So I wasn't expecting the letter.) ......DRUM ROLL PLEASE....

Guess what? They offered me a renewal with a rate increase of only $70. I kept looking and looking at the letter, and after a few minutes I remembered my "little" prayer to God. Then I started laughing over and over and over again because God heard my "little messed up prayer". This was hilariously amazing to me..... because it wasn't a long eloquent prayer....... it really was SHORT AND MESSED UP, but God "HEARD ME".

GLORY TO GOD!!!!!!! GLORY TO GOD!!!!!!

LESSON LEARNED:
There is no such thing as a little or messed prayer in God's eyes. There's nothing insignificant to Him and He's concerned about every aspect of our lives.

So when you pray, pray according to His will (His Word is His will) and He hears you. Even those prayers WE THINK are little and messed. So.............

" WHEN YOU PRAY, BELIEVE YOU RECEIVE IT AND YOU WILL HAVE IT!" Mark 11:24
