Prayer

First Thessalonians 5:17 says "Pray without ceasing." I will admit that I never thought prayer worked...I had my doubts because I believed.... Being the immature girl I was....I believed that the Lord would just answer my prayers like I prayed them. HAHAHA Nope. Instead he answered them in different ways and some he didn't even answer! It took me four years to finally realize this but I understand now and I am so thankful for all the prayers I prayed that weren't answered and every prayer that I prayed that was answered in a different way.

The Lord is good to me....and he knows just what I need.

Prayer does work....and it also draws you closer to the Lord. I was listening on the radio yesterday and the radio guy was speaking about how in a friendship you talk with the person to let them get to know you better and you listen to understand them.... Its the same way with Jesus. In prayer we go to Him. We talk. And He loves it. Then we go to the bible....to listen. To know him better.

Pray from your heart, pray about everything because I know it draws you closer to the Lord. Its doing it for me. So if there is anything, any of you would like me to pray for...let me know. Sometimes it gets old talking about my life. I'd love to go to Him for you. Like so many of my friends have done for me.
