Lately, God has made it easier for me to pray about anything and everything. It's wonderful! For example, I am praying that God would help me overcome complaining, and I have found it much easier to not complain! God loves it when we pray diligently for his will. I also pray through 2 Corinthians 12:9, which says:
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
This is one of my favorite verses, by the way. :) I pray it when I feel weak, like I can't do something I'm called to do. I can feel God's power fill me, and it helps me do my work.
I encourage you to pray to God about every little thing that is on your heart. He wants you to call on Him! Please comment if you have other verses/things you pray about that would benefit others! I would love to hear them. :)
Great post, Sarah! That's one of my favorite verses too! It's so amazing that God, the mighty Maker of the universe, is with us always and will help us with every little detail of our lives. I've been looking at Psalm 51 a lot lately, and one verse that stands out to me is verse 6: "...you teach me wisdom in the secret heart." That verse helps me remember that I can't kill sin and produce good fruit without God's grace.
