There's a Christian who's hiking in the woods one day when he comes upon an angry bear. The bear stood up on its hind legs and growled ferociously, clearly preparing to charge. In panic, the Christian started to run, but the bear followed close on his heels. Finally the hiker came to a cliff. So he dropped to his knees and asked God to please make this bear a good Christian bear. To the hiker's amazement, the bear suddenly stopped growling, fell to his knees and folded his paws together in prayer! "Thank you, Lord!" exclaimed the Christian. "Thank you, Lord!" exclaimed the bear, "for this meal I'm about to receive!" There is nothing we can't pray about. There are abundant references to prayer in the Bible. The Bible tells us to "pray without ceasing" and "in everything give thanks to the Lord". When we choose to have a positive attitude, we realize we have received many blessings for which to give God praise. I encourage each and everyone who reads this to not only pray to God when you are in the valleys being chased by a bear, but also when you are on the mountain top and things are within our reach. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18
