My youngest son recently was excited about something rather small. It was something that worked out in his favor. When I agreed with him that I was happy it worked out, he very assuredly said, “It’s because I prayed about it.” His confidence in God and prayer, brought my heart so much joy. My oldest son recently has made it known that He too had been praying about some things and it makes me so happy that He knows who to especially go to. It is such a blessing that we can pray for the big stuff, the small stuff and the in-between stuff. For prayer is a conversation with God, how wonderful it is to be able to have easy access to talk to Him about all things. Recently, I too, had been praying about some things. It always helps bring me peace when I can go to God about it. Sometimes He answers my prayers just as I had hoped. Other times, He answers them even better. Sometimes He answers them different. Though I am always assured that He hears me, He loves me, and He answers in what He knows is best for me. Friend, prayer is a powerful blessing. In all things, may we go to God in prayer.

Colossians 4:2 NIV

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
