Power in Prayer

I'm not sure exactly where I've been since I last wrote....I was pretty dedicated to this blog for a LONG time...But everytime I thought about blogging, I would start and just couldn't get enough words together to create a blog worth reading. Today I realized I need to blog about prayer. Maybe it's because I haven't spent enough time on my knees lately and I'm feeling that conviction or something else. It seems like when I stop praying, stuff starts happening! Is that true? I'm not sure!

I have sooooo many prayer requests right now, but for some reason, I don't feel that I should share any of them. I have friends who need prayer, co-workers who need prayer, family who needs prayer and of course, we need prayer. I guess you just could pray that God takes care of everyone on our prayer list. He knows who they are and knows their specific needs!

I just wanted to share one last thing, I found this scripture online while researching what God has to say about praying and wanted to share it with you:

1 Chronicles 16:11 (NIV)11 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.

This says to me that NO MATTER how rough things may be, always turn to God and He will guide you in the direction you will need to go!

and finally ~

Psalms 145:18 (NIV)18 The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

This tells me, that I should tell God my heart (He already knows it anyways, so why hide it from Him????) and share with him my dreams and hopes and desires and He will listen to me. He will be near to me and hold me in His arms and comfort me!

May you each be blessed!
