Prayer - Another area in which I feel inadequate. Inadequate you say? How does a Christian not know how to pray? Isn’t praying just a conversation or dialogue with God? Exactly!
It has taken me thirty-two years to realize that point. I speak, God listens, then God speaks and I listen.
Â
If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would be of no value whatsoever. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. ~1 Corinthians 13:3-5 (NLT)
Gracious and Almighty Father
I just want to thank you for life, health and strength
You’ve been Provider, Comforter, Visionary, Friend
Your tender mercies just never end
When I act up
Your love is constant
When I give up
Your strength sustains me
When I’m afraid
Your love protects me
When I’m confused
Your mind instructs me
In all my phases
You’re there to bless me
