One
of the best ways I know to remember how to commit things to God in
prayer is by remembering three circles. One is the worry circle, in
which I keep nothing. Second is the prayer circle, in which I keep
everything. Third is the gratitude circle, in which I keep anything. So
when I pray, I am anxious for nothing, prayerful for everything, and
thankful for anything.
We
feel foolish asking God to help us with some of the things in our
lives. But remember: “In everything by prayer and supplication, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be known to God” (Philippians 4:6).
You
just need to write out every one of your concerns before they turn into
worries and commit them to God. He does care about each of them. If you
take them back, just give them back to Him in prayer again. Day by day,
as you get more and more practiced committing the affairs of your life
to Him, you will begin to leave them with Him. Your trust in God will
grow, and you will stop grabbing back what you have given Him.
(Dr. David Jeremiah, July 13 post from his devotional, Sanctuary 2002)
