Dear friend,
_You can not be relaxed with a troubled mind.
It's of great importance that we understand why we must be relaxed in all things and at all times. The devil doesn't only bring anxiety, perplexity or uneasiness when there is trouble, he also brings them in time of "no trouble". He causes fear to rise and ultimately make you do things in a hurry because of anxiety. But you must learn to be relaxed at all times (trouble or no trouble)
*Prayer, Petition, and Thanksgiving*
Prayer is only as difficult and hard as you make it to be. The only reason why we find praying very difficult is because of the way we have been taught to pray. Prayer is a spiritual and shouldn't be done carnally, it's difficult for you to pray on your strength (we'll talk about praying the right way another time).
*If we learn to pray about everything, we will not be anxious about anything*
*Prayer keeps the mind relaxed!*
The reason why you are not relaxed is most likely because you are not praying, and if you are then you are not being specific, and if you are, then you are not being thankful. God doesn't want us to just pray randomly, He wants us to be specific. That's where the place of *Petition* comes in.
So many times we pray without even praying for something. And after the prayer we totally forget what we said, because we didn't even understand what we just said. We are thinking of a lot and we are not composed in our thoughts to specify what we need. That's why writing it down helps put you together when praying. *If you can't be specific when praying you can't be thankful when it has been answers.*
So if we must thank Him, we must thank him for something. Have you ever told a friend thank you, and the person asked you, "for what please?" God is not different. If you must thank Him, you need to let Him know "what for." Call them by names.
*To be relaxed is a state of the mind...that means it's possible not to be relaxed it "trouble" and still not be in "no trouble"*
*Nobody can ever be relaxed without the peace of God in a troubled world* Only the peace of God can keep your heart and mind from trouble.
The devil is ultimately after our minds and hearts. We must understand that peace is not the absence of trouble but it's the state of the mind. That's why we can still lose peace even when there is no trouble. Your degree of relaxation it's tied to your degree of peace.
*The peace of God is not meant to keep your troubles away, it's meant to keep your heart from being troubled.*
You can not be relaxed with a troubled mind. What troubles you?
Being relaxed is not eating and drinking, it's a mind that is at rest in God. Do not be troubled!!! Be relaxed!!!
