Prayer:)

Praying.
It's something that I do a lot. & I do mean a lot. I've always been told that when you're happy, pray. When you're sad, pray. When you're mad, pray. When you're bored..Pray!! Make time for praying all the time!:) Praying is when you talk to God. I pray throughout the day but, the time I really let it all out is right before I go to bed. I thank God for everything, I ask for forgiveness for things I may have done, I ask for guidance when I need it, I pray for strength & wisdom when I need it most. I pretty much tell Him about my day & when I'm struggling, even though He Already knows. I just let it all out. & Guess what! God listens!!:) God is my best friend & if He isn't yours, He can be!! He'll listen when you need listened & He'll always be with you!! I included a picture with the thing Footprints in the Sand, one of my favorite things ever.:) Anyways, if you don't pray, you totally should!! It's a big step towards getting closer with God & you can never be too close too God but, you can be too far! Praying, is a very important part of your relationship with God. I can't even begin to explain, you're just going to have to trust me, you are going to have to trust God. Give it a try! Whenever you're sad, happy, mad, bored, hot, cold, confused, in love, busy, whatever....Pray!!

Matthew 26:41 states: "Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you, For though the spirit is willing enough, the body is weak!"

Footprints In The Sand

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.


In each I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.


This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord..


"You promised me Lord that if I followed You, You would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed You most, have You not been there for me?"


The Lord replied, "The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you."

Next Post: I haven't decided. :)
