We are reminded here in James of the need to go to the Lord in prayer. I think too often we feel that we can only go to God for things of great importance. We learn from the world that we do not bother important people with small things. However, we are told by our Heavenly Father to bring everything to Him in prayer.
The example that we are to understand is like a Father and his small child. A Father loves his child and wants to know what a child needs even if it is something small and of little consequence. Our Father in heaven wants us to call on Him for all things. He does this because He wants to give us what we need. He wants us to depend on Him in all things.
Are you depending on the Lord? Are you taking all things to the Lord.
Consider: 1 Thessalonians 5:19
