There are a few people I love to hear pray. You know by their words the closeness of their relationship with their Heavenly Father. I have always feared praying in public. I have been ashamed of the lack of beautiful words that inadequately express the feelings in my heart. But I know the Holy Spirit takes my fumbling bumbling prayers to God and makes them beautiful.
I have seen the evidence of answered prayer. But I know I have missed many answers because I wasn’t looking. I have been thinking for a while now about having a prayer journal. I don’t want to miss anymore answers. I want to see every wonderful answer God is giving to me. I want to see with eyes wide open how God is in control of every aspect of my life.
My children can read the journal and see what God is doing in our lives. They will see how I pray for them and how God has us all in His hands. I want my prayer life to be something my children tell their children about. I want the evidence of our prayers and answers on paper for them to see and know the awesome power of God as they pray with faith for their children.
Wouldn’t it be amazing to know that when someone says they are praying for you that they REALLY are taking your request to the throne of God? How many times have we told someone we would pray for them to never do it or if we do remember to pray we do so halfheartedly? I want to be a woman of prayer.
