Day 20 of Thankfulness

Day 20 of Thankfulness –

Today I’m thankful for Prayer.

Romans 12:12 “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”

Praying is one of my battle weapons. Praying before a problem in thanks, praying during for strength and wisdom, praying after for healing and thanksgiving depending the answer. Our prayers will always be answered, sometimes in the way we were hoping, sometimes in a way we weren’t expecting, and sometimes with a wait, but that’s what God does….He hears all of our prayers and answers them as He knows what is best.

My heart has been hurting, healing, and loving all of my life, but especially so over the last several years. It has left me wanting more of Him, to feel His presence more, to hear His voice more, to know His love more, and to know His will more. The only way I’ve found that I can have all of this and, gain peace and lose anxiousness, is to pray, genuinely and faithfully pray. To pray before I go to a human source of wisdom, to pray before I get frustrated, to Pray First. And this is how I pray: Giving thanks, asking for forgiveness, laying my petitions before Him, and allowing Him to speak. And He does!

Father, thank you that I can always come to you in prayer! Amen
