WHAT ARE YOU PRAYING FOR?

Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. (Psalm 55:22 NIV)

I used to take my daughters fishing when they were younger.  It was a lot of fun but it was frustrating at times also.  The reason, I didn't get to fish.  No sooner would I get their hooks and bait into the water they would reel it in or need something from me to help them in some manner.  In a way, it's the way a lot of Christians treat their problems - we cast our problems to the Lord and when we don't get any movement on our hook - we reel the prayer request into shore over and over.  Here's the thing... If you want to catch fish - your hook needs to stay in the water.  If you want God to answer your prayer - you need to keep your prayer in His lap and not reel it in when you feel worried or anxious.  What are you praying for today?  What need has you worried and upset?  Your God so wants to bless and answer you in every situation you have.  It might not always be a yes but He will show you what the right answer is today.  "Cast your cares on The Lord and he will sustain you..."  Don't give up on God or His ability to answer your need.  He see's the big picture today and is waiting for the right time to come down on your behalf.  Yes, cast your cares on Him but also leave it with Him for His answer to to be poured into your situation today.
