The Necessity of Grateful Prayer
The Necessity of Grateful Prayer
John MacArthur: This is John MacArthur, join me for today's Portraits of Grace. How often do you have your car serviced? If you want to keep it running as it should and avoid expensive repairs, you'll have preventive maintenance performed on it every 3,000 miles or so. And the same is true when it comes to your spiritual life. Preventive spiritual maintenance is vital when it comes to being prepared for unexpected trials and hardships so that you can respond in a godly manner.
As the Apostle Paul supplies the key service to perform, this is what he says: "Be anxious for nothing, 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 comprehension, shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Be a portrait of God's grace. Respond to His tests with a prayerful and grateful heart.
