Just a Prayer Away

My goodness! There is so much going on lately. In my life, and in the lives of my friends. Just a whole lot going on, and not all of it good. As for me, I am still dealing with the ramifications of the car accident that I was in on April 29th (I'll be writing about that soon), and still have some family (and "other") issues that I am working through.

Nevertheless, I still have a reasonable portion of health and strength, so I can not, and will not complain.

Tonight's post will be short and simple. I am asking that you pray for me (in the name of Jesus) as I am praying for others as well (in the name of Jesus).

We serve a God who is able and there is absolutely NOTHING too hard for Him.

Although my prayers are NEVER the same, I have some areas that I try to cover. Not always, but most times.

I always begin with THANKS (although I can NEVER thank God enough for all that He has done, and continues to do).

Then I CONFESS my sins. Note that I did NOT say that I ask for forgiveness. You see...Christ shed His blood on the cross for our sins...ALL of them...past, present and future. In that sacrificial act, He forgave us. So there's no need to keep asking for what has already been granted. There is however, a constant need to CONFESS our sins. Not sugar coating them...but calling them what God calls them. And so...that's what I do.

Then, I present my requests before Him.

Just thought I'd throw that in.

Now Let the DIALOGUE begin: Do you prefer to pray in the morning, evening, or do you pray throughout the day?

Talk to me (and ESPECIALLY to God)!

Til next time...
