· Don't wait 3 days before you call on the Lord for His help.

· If you are a Christian, you have the right to call on "Our Father in Heaven."

· As Christians, we need to pray as Paul taught us: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)
