Pray with boldness

Greetings:
Every time we connect with God in prayer, we are praising Him because we are acknowledging our need to set our burdens on His strong shoulders. 
Isaiah 25:4 (NIV) says, "You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in their distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat”.
God is there as a stronghold to keep us standing against the crashing waves and raging winds.  A man on his knees in prayer can stand before any tragedy.
When we read Psalms, we can find so many verses about God’s children singing praise even in the midst of hard times.
David writes in Psalm 142:5 (NIV), “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.”
One particular song that has speak to hard times and suffering is “There Will be a Day” by Jeremy Camp.
The chorus of the song says, “There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears. There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we'll hold on to you always..."
Let us remember when Paul wrote that we should rejoice always, and in everything give thanks, he wasn’t kidding.
It can be the hardest thing when you’re going through even the tiniest of trials, to turn your attention upon Jesus – and yet, people have done it, because it works if we are anchored in faith and our hope remains steadfast though Jesus the son of God.
In prayer, Paul turns his attention to the God, who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine.
Paul prayed with boldness. Let's try it.
Be blessed.
