Prayer Is Not The Last Resort!

Prayer should not be the last thing that comes to mind when we are facing life's challenges.  Often we do not remember to pray until we are lost in our trouble.  We should begin to look at prayer more like a "first responder."   When accidents occur on the road we want the most capable and prepared people to get in first and the onlookers and bystanders should be out of the way.  That is the same approach we should take with prayer.  If prayer serves as a first responder to any of life's situation we ensure that the most capable and prepared people show up to assist.  We give God first look at our situation and get His expert opinion on the status of the situation.
