Week #13 from Exodus 15:24-25 is another great example of why it is important to pray when circumstances extend beyond our abilities. Perhaps it is easier for some, to pray when our strength is gone or there is no way for us to achieve the goal. But, we are to pray in all circumstances. Often, God has an opinion or a way or a purpose that we would never consider. Prayer helps us perceive what we have never seen before. Even when we follow what God has directed, not all will agree with us. Please remember that difficulties are useful to our Lord as He "works all things together for good". (Romans 8:28)
Please be aware that some folks believe they are on an assignment from the Lord to be critical of others and their work. James 1:2-3 says; Consider it pure joy, my brothers whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance..."
Please pick up your new prayer journal at the welcome center for the next quarter.
Looking through my 13 week journal, I can not help but Praise God! Through journaling, I have been able to see all of the answers to prayers. God is so good! He is faithful to provide all our needs. So often we pray and fail to realize how God has answered our daily life prayers, from the simplest "little" thing to that huge burden we bear. I can see how God has answered my prayers in His Perfect Will. How Great is Our God! Prayer really does make a difference!
