Prayers

The prayer of a righteous man is powerful
and effective.
( James 5:16 *NIV )

I truly believe that our prayers are the most powerful things on Earth! After all what is a Miracle but a prayer that has been answered!

Thus it is written; Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ( Philippians 4:6 ) After all, The Lord is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous. ( Proverbs 15:29 )

Now I know that when our prayers aren't answered the way we would like, it can disappoint us, we are sad and often depressed. However it is written that we should; Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. ( 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 )

Never feel that God doesn't hear your prayers because a prayer isn't answered immediately, or because it isn't answered the way you would like. For your Heavenly Father always knows what is best for you, and; He will never leave you nor forsake you. ( Deuteronomy 31:6 )

So My friend, remember to always; Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name, for He will always hear the prayers of those who love and adore Him! ( 1 Chronicles 16:8 )

In closing my prayer is that; The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Now and always! Amen! ( 2 Corinthians 13:14 )

All My Love & Prayers,
