I have a lot of friends and family going through health things or hard things right now. Also, there’s hard things going on in the world. Our prayer list seems to be growing, yet, there is such comfort in praying. For one thing I have learned is that prayer is powerful! We may not always be able to change our circumstances or others circumstances exactly when or how we’d like, but we know that where we can’t go, God can. May we not ever underestimate His power. I have seen God do miraculous things. In prayer, I have also felt His peace. In prayer, I have felt at ease surrendering it to God. Friend, may we keep praying in whatever ways it may be. Whether for a loved one, a stranger or our hurting world and even ourselves. God is powerful, He is good and we can find peace in going to Him in prayer. In doing so, may we also not forget to praise Him for all He has done and will continue to do, in His way and in His time.

Prayer

Philippians 4:6-7 NIV

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
