WISDOM FOR WINNING: Prayer
Proverbs 15:29: The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Prayer is not a
right, but a privilege from God. God is not obligated to hear the
prayers of anyone. He will reject the prayers of the wicked. But he
will hear the prayers of the righteous, and he will answer them
according to his will and timing.
The old saying, “be sure your sins will find you out", always happens, always. Your actions, thoughts and words cannot be hid from God. God is omnipresent and omnipotence. There are a lot of people in the world who know they sin, they don't confess it or forsake it. They ignore warning signs and convection of the Holy Spirit. He is not helping them, blessing them, comforting them, and certainly does not answer their prayers.
Rebellion against God is so offensive that he will laugh and mock you when you need him. Even your sacrifices will be an abomination to him. Examine your heart and life to make sure that you are in right standing with him. His conviction for you sin is a special mercy from God. He wants to answer your prayers! Don't try to run and hide. You cannot! Humble yourself, pray and ask God to forgive you of your sins by confessing them with your mouth. He will always deliver you and then he will bless you!
Prayer is your greatest weapon on earth! God commands us to pray. He expects it daily (Lk 18:1). It pleases God when we pray. God wants to be involved in every day of our life. Prayer changes things. By prayer the hand of God can move people around you and miracles start to happen.
Proverbs 3:2: For length of days, and long life and peace, shall they add to thee.

There are two blessings here that should make every reader happy - long life and peace. Everyone wants to live longer, and peace makes a life a continual feast.
Billions are spent
each year on people searching for that fountain of youth. Research is
frantically pursuing that famous pill or serum. The personal trainer
for a better body are booked. We are spending more for food that is
healthier and less chemically grown. Our living spaces are designed to
bring peaceful surrounding to us.
We get into meditation, to get all
the minds off of distraction of life. We spend millions for outside
surroundings of beautiful flowers and lawns. Sometime we go as far as
water fountains and ponds so we can hear the soothing and relaxing noise
of water flowing outside our bedrooms. Millions are spent each year on
sounds of the ocean, rain, waterfalls, rain forest, birds chirping in
the forest on and on to get our minds on peace. New age music is
overflowing with artist. Classical music is peaceful and soothing to
our minds. I love to listen to all these type of lullaby sounds. The
best rest I every had in my life was sleeping with the sliding doors
open at the hotel on the beach, and just listening to the waves roll in
and out, in and out, in and out.
"Hard and bad living" ages the body and brings sometimes an early death. Wisdom gives us the convection and knowledge to live righteously, which saves us from disease, suicide, murder, alcoholism, and drug addiction. By obeying the laws of the land we are not in danger of hard punishment. Sinners are always looking, and running to find contentment in their lives. They will never be satisfied with their lives. But the wise find peace in the LORD. He in turn give you peace in your marriage, work, friendships, general day to day living, and eternal peace!
I can literally say that if the world was to blow up tomorrow, I am at peace! Can you say that
Wisdom brings peace! Choose peace and LIVE! FOREVER!!!
