“Pray without ceasing”
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Returning, once again, to “It’s a Wonderful Life,” we see
how the bleak, frustrating circumstances in George’s life, have now led him to
this prayerful moment in the film. George finally comes to a place in which he
prays about his circumstances. He fully admits to not being “a praying man,” as
he, in desperation, asks for God’s help. This has not been the Christmas Eve he
wanted for his family, for himself. Still, he prays.
No matter what you’re going through right now, no matter
where you find yourself, you can still pray. God hears you anytime, anywhere, even,
in George’s case, in a bar.
God has the final say; He is working on your situation. Your
prayers DO matter!
“The effectual fervent prayer of
a righteous man availeth much.”
James 5:16
