Many people don\u2019t pray about the little things because they feel they\u2019re not worth their time. They reserve prayer for those high and mighty occasions when they\u2019ve exhausted every possible human solution and prayer is all that\u2019s left to them. The truth is that they really don\u2019t want to invest prayer energy in things of seemingly little significance. And they\u2019re missing spiritual blessings as a result.<\/p>\n
When something breaks your heart\u2014large or small\u2014it isn\u2019t going to escape God\u2019s attention. If you believe that God is able to work out all things, even small ones, for his good purpose and his glory, then of course you should pray about even the tiniest of matters. Your request for God\u2019s work in your financial investments, in the food you\u2019re about to eat, and in your study habits may be just the thing he can use to build his kingdom in your life.<\/p>\n
Prayer has unbelievable benefits to you, even when you’re just praying about a lost set of car keys. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the advantages of incorporating prayer into even the smallest details of your life. Praying for the little things teaches you to depend on God. When you’re praying, you’re acknowledging your dependence on God. You’re deliberately unplugging from your earthly and human sources of strength and choosing rather to plug in to God\u2019s holy and infinite source.<\/p>\n
When you choose to seek God\u2019s leadership, direction, and provision for something as seemingly insignificant as a parking place, the right wording of a letter, or what clothes to wear to the office, you\u2019re acknowledging that you want and need God\u2019s direction in every aspect of your day. You\u2019re inviting Jesus to rule and reign as Lord over every last detail of your life. That\u2019s prayer that teaches you how to depend on him in everything.<\/p>\n
If you limit your prayers to just the big, dramatic things in your life, you miss hundreds of opportunities every day for sweet communion with God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
