A HAPPY THOUGHT:
Prayers move God’s hands.
The HAPPY THOUGHT that I want to give you today may cause a feeling of unrest in your mind if you don’t take it to heart.
The HAPPY THOUGHT is that I may not be able to do anything to solve or help with a problem unless I PRAY about the issue. It makes me happy to know that I can, at least, do this little thing about the problem or situation. That makes me feel useful and needed.
James 5:16b says, “The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much,”
Prayer may answer the problem, so I need to pray. Prayer causes things to happen, so I need to pray. I will have an uneasy, restless mind if I don't pray.
So I turn back to the HAPPY THOUGHT that I can pray about any problem, large or small.
I can learn what God wants me to be concerned about and enjoy the feeling of being useful and helpful in solving life's everyday problems and situations. It is a HAPPY THOUGHT that my prayers are helping move God's hands as he takes care of the problems.

Thank you and God bless you, my readers.
So many times we want to plow on ahead on our own. But it only takes less than a minute to engage with the Father, readjust our thinking and focus our dependence on the One who has the answers. We still need to do something. But we are no longer doing it alone.
Thanks again for sharing!
