Power of Prayer

Today I was given some news that sure hits the heart close. As soon as I got off the phone, I said  a prayer. There is so much that God can do when we ask Him. There really is power in prayer! The Bible says that we should turn to God with all things. 


Matthew 7:7-11 states, "⁷Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: ⁸For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. ⁹Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? ¹⁰Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? ¹¹If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him."


Sometimes we just have to have faith. I believe that faith is believing even when we can not see it. There are so many people who do not believe in God because they say that there is no proof. Are you serious? Just take a moment and look around. Look at the beautiful mountains, the rolling hills. The trees, that are now changing colors. There are the waters that spread across the earth. There is nothing more beautiful than what God has created here on Earth! I really just do not understand how so many people can believe that this amazing place that we live in was created from some dirt and rocks in a big boom. How can people believe that we came from monkeys. There is no way that is even possible. God created the heavens and the earth. He created us. He created woman from man. Read the book of Genesis, then tell me that it is a lie. It all makes since. God has given us the Bible to tell us about the ways of life. There are things that we should and shouldn't do, and the Bible outlines it all for us!
⁶Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.


One of the most important things is to pray to God. Pray in hard times, and thank God when things are going well. Always see the blessings in the rain. See the power of prayer. Take your requests to the Lord. 


Philippians 4:19
 ¹⁹But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.


1 John 5:14-15

¹⁴And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

 ¹⁵And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

And so I pray. I pray that the Lord does His will in the lives of others. I pray for courage, and faith in the Lord. I pray for comfort, and for good health. The Lord will take care of us. He always does!
