To wonder if we are making a difference. But we must persevere. It seems sometimes it changes us more than the situation. Which I suppose is pat of God's plan.

Seeing where I avoid praying and what that says about my own heart state. It's learning to come to Him with my doubts and unbelief and asking Him to "help my unbelief" - believing He can and will. You encourage me with one situation in particular right now.

I can commune with God at any time of the day. I try to "pray continually" and as the need comes.

Prayer has been a focus for me lately, and I understand the hurt of praying and pouring out our hearts only to receive seemingly nothing in return. But you're right, prayer changes us. Prayer keeps communication open between us and God so that we don't drift away. So thankful for your words.Jazminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15143404381190817994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-55140198155240674502018-03-05T06:58:30.529-06:002018-03-05T06:58:30.529-06:00Hi Laura - I loved your post.

You have reminded me how important it is to keep praying specifically for the request that have not been answered. I hope you link it up with Grace and Truth on Friday I know our readers will love your post too. Maree Deehttps://www.embracingtheunexpected.comnoreply@blogger.com
