Keep it Simple

July 31st
James 5:13

Keep it simple.

Have you ever faced a trial or a period of storms? Do you often seek multiple opinions and thoughts? Do you seek any and all avenues before seeking Christ in prayer? Oh...I'm guilty. Very guilty. We are a "fix it now" generation. Our world and life move at fast speeds. Yet ,we still try to take control of our problems.

We can look up many verses where it simply says..."Pray." Such a simple task that we make so hard. We can go back and look at many Psalms where David cried out in prayer. Jesus himself withdraws from the crowds to go pray. We are charged with being imitators of Christ. Prayer is an important aspect of the daily walk and talk with God. Prayer is showing our faith that God will hear and answer. When prayer lacks, so does Christian growth. So keep it simple. Life is hard - we don't need to make it more difficult.
