It is very important that we consult God about every aspect of our lives, every day, all the time! He is the Almighty God with whom every born-again believer should have a personal relationship. He wants us to talk to him and ask Him things even though he already knows everything about us.
As a born-again believer you are in an active relationship with GOD through Jesus because He made you for that purpose. Don’t you think He wants to be in constant communication with you? Can anyone be in a healthy productive relationship with someone if there is little or no communication? Look at what the scripture says:
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV)
We are commanded to be careful for nothing. This refers to being disturbed or annoyed in spirit as well as to promoting your own interests. The context here is that we are not to be anxious or troubled about anything but to do everything that concerns us through prayer, thankfully asking God for the things we need.
The Greek context shows us that prayer and supplication refer to prayer addressed directly to God in the form of seeking, asking and entreating from a point of need, indigence and want. These needs and wants are what God is telling us to bring before Him and ask Him for with thankfulness. When we do this the peace of God which stands out, above and beyond all understanding, shall keep our heart (inner being) and mind (thoughts) through Christ Jesus.
Whatever it is, take it to God in prayer!
