What does prayer mean to you?
Personally, I believe in the power of prayer.
I pray every day for healing, love, and forgiveness
in our world. However, my prayers aren’t
always so noble… At times, I have prayed
for good grades, to find my keys, and for God to stop my roommate’s snoring… If
there is a desire on my heart, I often bring it to God. J
Over the years, I have seen God do some
amazing things, big and small. People
have been healed and lives have been changed.
There are also plenty of times diseases don’t go away, people refuse to
change, and roommates keep snoring!
In Luke 18, Jesus tells us of the power of
prayer. Prayer has an ability to change
our lives in unexpected ways. When I
pray, I know that I may not get the answer that I am looking for. In fact, there are weeks where it feels like
nothing is going right… However, prayer has played a deeper role in my life. Prayer allows me to listen. Prayer helps me to open my heart and experience
miracles that I wasn’t looking for originally. Prayer allows me to live in this world with
hope. As you experience the ups and the
downs of life, I hope that you can listen for God’s love through prayer. May prayer kindle hope in your heart, and may
your experience of God give you a deeper understanding of grace.
Blessings,
PB
