Just a question...

Postby Mike Vande » August 12th, 2008, 4:22 pm

I just got back from putting $12 in my gas tank, and not getting much more than a quarter full. I looked at that and said to myself, "That's just wrong." ANd, a thought came to em. I dion't know if I can claim it was God, but the thought was "Have you prayed about it?"
I thought about it and realized, despite all the complaining, worrying, griping, and being angry about the price of gasoline, I haven't really prayed about it, certainly not from an unselfish standpoint.
I have been thinking that this whole deal with the economy and prices of everything going up is payment for this country's(world's?) continuing slide into godlessness. I have been worrying that we are really in for it this time. Tonight I thought for the first time in a long time about the word God gave to Lot about Sodom, that if there were even just a few righteous people, he'd spare it.
So, I wondered,how many of us have, specifically now, asked God to lower the gas prices?
Why is it that bad decisions seem to make to most interesting testimonies?

Funny you should mention it

While I was in Alabama last week, some Christian group had prayer at a service station for lowered prices, and the price dropped 3¢ while they prayed.

you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

There is a thing going on now called "Pray at the Pump". They are asking all Christians to pray while they are pumping their gas so that gas prices will drop.

Well, let's agree together that God will spare our nation a little longer, lower gas prices and restore our economy, so that we can reach a few more people with a witness to God's faithfulness to his Word and His love.

Sounds like a good idea.

Let's also pray for the war to end while we're at it. God can do anything!

If God wants us to pray, we may pray for extra grace and mercy and that gas prices, if nothing else, will cause people to think about where we are at! :)

Our gas prices have dropped a good 40 cents in the past month. Is anyone else seeing a drop in the price of gas?
