Let your petitions be made known to God.—Phil. 4:6.
A BibleSnippet 070121 —text for Thursday July 1, 21. As one reader put it “Indeed. What a fine message.”
Our prayers do not have to be poetic or perfectly structured. We may sometime use expression of bitter word including many sobs of grief. But Jehovah hears them all. He always listens and never feels tired of us because He is very caring. He always answers us—If in no other way than to bring us comfort.
Included in our prayer about our problems, we must also remember the advice recorded at Philippians 4:6, 7, it reads; “6 Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.”.
We have so many reasons to thank Jehovah—including the gift of life, our children, his creative works, his loyal love, and the wonderful hope that he has given us through the ransom of His son. (Listen to our Podcast: Let Jehovah Soothe You)
A BibleSnippet 070121 (End)
Each BibleSnippet will draw you closer to God even though it only takes a moment to read. They provide the reader with a short message for comfort and encouragement, and try to end with a link to a podcast study article for those who need more on the subject. A message they contain includes a scripture that attempts to remind people of God’s love. We draw readers to the things in our daily lives that are all around us to show God’s love. We do this with as few words as possible, and without losing the power of the Bible message it’s conveying. The Bible described God in this manner:
Ps. 103 8-15 “8 Jehovah is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and abundant in loyal love. 9 He will not always find fault, Nor will he stay resentful forever. 10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor has he repaid us what our errors deserve. 11 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So great is his loyal love toward those who fear him. 12 As far off as the sunrise is from the sunset, So far off from us he has put our transgressions.
13 As a father shows mercy to his sons, Jehovah has shown mercy to those who fear him. 14 For he well knows how we are formed, Remembering that we are dust. 15 As for mortal man, his days are like those of grass; He blooms like a blossom of the field. 16 But when a wind blows, it is no more, As though it was never there. 17 But the loyal love of Jehovah is for all eternity toward those who fear him, And his righteousness toward their children’s children.”
