Prayer

Prayer can be one of the most difficult things for us to do. Talking to God can be intimidating and often less fruitful than we would like. Asking for something from God is always difficult so that is why I always start my prayers by thanking God for all or our blessings (and I am specific) as well as for the health and happiness of our children, their spouses, and all of our grandchildren. By the time I have thanked God for all of His blessings and graces - I am in a good place to ask for what is in my heart. I always end my prayers - before the amen - with "thy will be done". I know all things are in God's time, not mine. This has been especially important over the past several months with a new job, selling and buying a home, and keeping up a good relationship with my husband being 100 miles apart for the better part of each week. But it is in His time - not ours. So pray often, pray fervently, pray with your whole heart - but remember to let God know that you know that you won't be angry with Him if your prayers go unanswered. Sometimes we need to thank God for those unanswered prayers as well - think about that...... God bless.
