Just for fun l'll share an answer to prayer.

We had a family gathering yesterday but as usual trouble seemed to arrise before the event. The trip there in the car was strained and silent. No matter how much l tried to force conversation it didn't work so we drove along in silence. Nobody wanted to hear Christian songs or Christmas songs on the radio either.

Silence.............. Then all of a sudden it occured to me ................ I can talk to God!!!

As l gripped the wheel l began to pour my heart out to him...choking back tears with eyes frozen to the road.... There where a couple of tough particular situations l was bringing before him. One was for a person in this large house full of people that refuses to join in. How God wonderfully worked and brought this person into conversation and also broke the ice in and area l didn't ever think l would see. Together we all stood in circle talking. I could hardly look at the person because my eyes would betray me.

Simple? Not to me. And a reward from my Father.

My earthly Father got to see his whole family together at once. He is in hospice but made it. When l kissed him he was cold and sweaty... But l was greatful for the moment.

If you're lonely this Christmas with no one to talk to...try talking to God. Pour your heart out to him. Tell him all of your concerns. He wants to answer your prayers. Even the little simple ones.

Thank you Miki for sharing this. YOu have no idea how much it blessed me.

Merry Christ-Mas.

I love hope

Who cares about odds? The Lord is my staff! He is the firmament that holds me up.

Who cares about facts? The Word from his Spirit makes all things.

Doubt being a shadow cannot even dimminish his glory as there is light everywhere where he is

Thanks, Miki. No such thing as a long shot when I walk with him, right?

You guys are great! Love and Merry Christmas to you!



It looks like she's praying and believing doesn't it!

The faith of a child...

That was wonderful to read.

What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.

2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
thou wilt find a solace there.

Joseph M. Scriven, 1820-1886

Marvellous!

How precious are we that call on the Lord...Jesus you are always there in our midst.
Your vision has come true to me as well. I had a vision when praying of people standing in a circle, holding hands and praying...they where standing in a midst....Then God showed up...a sense of peace even in dispair, a sense of joy be able to share.
God's peace is the only peace worth seeking...He is ALWAYS within and without...from Above every perfect gift comes.
this brings tears to my eyes, I know of this peace that is easily without effort given...a free gift...GRACE be unto you...and Peace from the Prince of Peace. Jesus we adore you.
