Part 3 - Full of Life in a Crazy Busy World!

 Reminder: when starting a new habit, make your goals ‘do-able.’

 Prayer is often the difference between: a ‘busy life’ and a ‘full life.’

6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.                  Phil. 4:6

1. Prayer is the cure for worry and anxiety.

  • You can worry or you can pray, but you can’t do both!

 

6 …Tell God what you need…Phil. 4:6

2. Prayer is updating God on your life.

  • Express your desires, hopes, dreams, requests and needs to God.

 

6 …and thank him for all he has done.Phil. 4:6

3. Prayer is thanking God for all he has done.

 

 9 Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Phil. 4:9

4. Prayer is the first step of obedience.

  • Example: Evangelism (Does it freak you out?)

- Use a “Just Sow It” Bookmark!

  • Prayer Lists help me obey God!

 

 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus…  9 Then the God of peace will be with you. Phil. 4:7,9

5. Prayer leads to peace.

  • Try this before a meal: Be still before God. (Ps. 46:10)

 

Is your life busy? Or is your life FULL?

Prayer leads to a Full Life!
