It took me a while to learn that the Bible tells us to pray about even the little things, and of course, the BIGGIES.. but it also says our problems are common.(not insignaficant) 1Corinthians 10:13 NIV says, No temptation [trial or problem] has seized you except what is common to man. God is faithful; he will not let me be tempted beyond what I can bear. But when I'm tempted, He will also provide a way out so I can stand up under it. In other words, my problem is not unusual. God has seen it before, and He has promised to provide a way for me to stand up under it! So instead of magnifying my problem, I tell my big problem about my huge God! Psalm 34:3 says, O magnify the Lord with me. Make God bigger, and according to His Word, I begin to see a change in my life! I enjoy your devotionals!
