Like a wheel in motion we have too much momentum to slow down and pause for prayer. If you find it hard to slow down, remember that it is only hard to you because in itself it is easy. Prayer is all about taking time out for ourselves. It is a willingness to speak to God through words, through silence, through music and so on. Short bursts of prayer are the best of all. Thankfully prayer is one of the best free gifts going.

GOOD MORNING !
Lately I’ve had a lot of prayer requests both from people in J-land and from acquaintances--some by e-mail, some not even voiced, but I know they need them, so I pray a lot. I believe our prayers are always heard and answered. Sometimes the answer is ‘no’ or ‘wait’ and those answers aren’t easy to accept.
We know that old song about ‘Unanswered prayers’ Written by: - Pat Alger- Larry Bastian - Garth Brooks
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer
doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts
are unanswered prayers
I think they aren’t really unanswered, but they are answered in a way we did not anticipate. So I’m thankful for prayer, and I pray often and with expectancy. You always know I pray for you !
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Maybe if we were charged a fee to pray we would have a better sense of its value. Of course no one could afford it, for the value of prayer is priceless.

Thankfully there is no unanswered prayer even if we don't always like the answer. What Father ignores His children when they talk to Him. Bless you.
