3.28.24 - The power of prayer

Good morning ,

Have you ever been guilty of praying just for the sake of praying? You're praying because you should, but you don't really believe your prayer is going to reach God? And while you know God can answer your prayer, you don't want to be let down if he doesn't so you aren't putting much faith in it? 

Unfortunately, I have done prayer like this for most of my life. While it makes me sad that I treated my prayer life that way, I also know it's part of my faith journey that I can share with others.

It wasn't until last year that I stopped praying for the sake of saying a prayer. I started being intentional about prayer. I started asking God for things with the expectation that I was going to see Him to do it, even if it wasn't in the way I wanted. 

I find that when things in my life start getting more crazy than usual, I start praying more. 

Right now I am experiencing a very stressful time with the school system and my daughter. I have found myself calling out to God multiple times throughout the day. Every situation that happens I keep praising his name, because I know that this will all work out. I don't have a clue how and I hope sooner than later, but I know my God is working it out. There have been multiple times in my life where I have felt stuck and God has shown up and this time will be no different. 

In Mark 11:24 Jesus says, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

I encourage you to be intentional about your prayer life. It's made a huge difference in my personal relationship with God and I know it can be for you too. 

I appreciate you being a part of my community. It's always more than skin care :)

If this email has helped you please share it with someone you know. 

Love,
