What she basically meant is, you don't want to take any chances. If you don't do it, then there is a strong possibility bad things are going to happen. You need to do it to ensure good dental health. You know, when I began to think about my dentist appointment this morning, I just had to start praying about it.

Prayer ensures good spiritual health.
You and I are going to be tempted of satan today, you can count on it. We are going to face some discouraging news or troubling circumstances. Someone is going to be watching our actions and words for a hint of the Gospel. There is just absolutely no telling what is going to happen when we walk out the door. We need to be prayed up to handle whatever comes our way.
