Do you check the weather report daily so you know what to wear? I do! It makes me feel prepared for the day if I am dressed for what I know may come. Rain, snow, sun and wind require different clothing and being prepared may prevent some problems.

It’s the same way with our spiritual lives, only maybe we don’t check the conditions of our soul as often? Why is that, seeing as our soul weathers all kinds of trials, temptations, storms, hurts and sins?

We know these things will come, but why are we not more prepared?

In my humble opinion, it’s because we cannot control the weather, but we seem to think we can handle most of what life throws at us, on our own, until we can’t.

Then, we (myself included) look to God for help. And, of course, He is always there for us.

Maybe, just maybe, we could prevent the jolt of these surprises by praying for wisdom ahead of time, patience before we encounter a difficult client, and strength, before ours runs out. Maybe the storms would not be so bad that we feel drenched?

Here’s a verse for some inspiration for today!

Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16

Just a thought for today:) With love from the Father to you, have a “prepared by prayer” kind of day!
