Prayer.

When I was young I thought that I was not supposed to bother God with my prayers.

But now I realize that God wants to be involved in our lives and He welcomes our prayers.

"Take it to the Lord in prayer."

God is our loving Father.

He cares about our problems.

And He answers our prayers.

It is His dearest desire that we turn to Him and accept Him as our King.

"How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings."  Luke 13:34 (NRSV)

So pray to God about your concerns.

Trust in Him.

And rely on His Love.

He will answer you.
