Pray It Through

Overthink = worry, fear, anxiety, dread, over analyze, perfectionism, focused on the issue or problem
Prayer = conversing with God, speaking the “giving up of control” to higher power, enlists Holy Spirit, focused on trusting God

The enemy encourages all of us to overthink everything as a way to create doubt, validate fear, harbor uncertainty, and live life in a constant state of worry. If we allow it our focus is not on the Holy aspects, trusting Gods timing, and faithfully believing Divine Truths in the Word. We forfeit prayer by claiming the burdens and negating the elements of Holy mysteries because we become too caught up in the worldly stuff. That’s where satan wants to keep us as it cleverly creates chaotic living instead of faithfully trusting the one winning the war, Holy.

So, are you a Prayer Warrior or an overthinking minion of the enemy?

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” Phillipians 4:6-9
