Thinking = Praying

In a conversation the other day, a good friend said when she thinks something, she has already told God about it.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 says, "pray continually."

What better way to do just that than to make every thought a prayer?

2 Corinthians 10:5 says, "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

When thinking equals praying, we are able to spend time in the presence of the Lord God Almighty all day long wherever we are!

"How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God." ~ Psalm 84:1-2

God already knows all our thoughts, so it's no huge step to acknowledge His knowledge of our thoughts as we think them. :)

"You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar." ~ Psalm 139:2

Matthew 10:26 says, "So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known."

Hebrews 4:13 says, "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account."

Every thought will be brought to light, and our thoughts direct our actions.

"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee." ~ Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)

As another good friend emphasized to the youth at our church not too long ago, "What you think about is what you care about, and what you care about is what you'll chase."

What are you thinking about?
