PARABLE:  
A friend told me how concerned she was about what God thinks of her>
Someone stole her purse & she got it back
 BUT she was SO upset that she didn't even think of praying.
 I laughed & told her 1 of Dad's favorite stories...

Grandpa & grandson were tired after a long walk in country, so climbed fence to take usual shortcut across pasture. 1/2 way across they learned the farmer had just gotten a bull!. It began running at them from other end of field. They raced toward fence. As bull got some closer, boy asked "Grandpa, shouldn't we stop & pray for help?" 

Grandpa, still running, gasped "KEEP ON RUNNIN', BOY! -- 
I keep prayed up for times like this!"

SO WHAT ??
Thanking God that I remembered right words to reassure her...
Yes, God says to "Pray constantly".
But He understands when we get so busy during the day....
And, if we are wise, we will indeed pray as thoughts to God
thru the day, as Brother Lawrence taught in
THE PRACTICE OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

After all:  You think to YOURSELF all day. So why not
make your words PRAYERS to God all day? Much Peace there!

What does LORD God say ?? 
1st Thessalonians 5:17,  "Pray without ceasing."  A simple 3-word sentence!
Romans 8:26,  we don't know HOW to pray right....
    so God's  Holy Spirit will HELP us if we ask Him.

Prayer: 
Sometimes I forget to pray to you 'BEFORE THE BULL COMES" ...
Please help me to remember.... not only in asking for safety and health,
but also to worship & praise You.... JUST because You deserve it,
and not trying to earn Your favor!
