Thursday’s Musings: Accidental Prayers


Modified and Used 5-13-20

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

The other day I heard someone say that in response to a concern that had come up he started accidently praying.  Then he said he started praying on purpose about the situation.  I had never thought about accidental prayers.  Perhaps he actually meant automatic prayers. This happens with those who have come to love God.  Prayer can become an automatic response when we need help.  Maybe some people do pray accidentally, like when a narrow miss in traffic prompts that cry of “God!” Hopefully though we will move from accidental prayers to automatic prayers.  God is listening.

Holy Lord, thank you for hearing our prayers.  We praise you for your loving care of us. Amen.

Happy Spring!
Paige
