Toothache - mariarae - 04-20-2009 01:35 PM ![]() I also am having a hard time lately, I am pretty sure it is Satan trying to stop me from praying for requests, as everytime I get on this board, somebody in the house NEEDS something, even if they really DON"T need anything at all, or my keyboard quits working right, or the phone rings, or the wash machine gets out of balance etc.. It is one of those days, but God will make it better I am sure.
RE: Toothache - faith - 04-20-2009 05:31 PM Prayer Strengthens You ISAIAH 40:31 NKJ 31 But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength... Too many people think of prayer only as asking God for what they want. But prayer is much more than that. Prayer is communication and communion with Almighty God. Somehow, in the act of prayer we receive a transfusion of God's strength. LUKE 22:46 NKJ 46 ..."pray, lest you enter into temptation." Being strong enables you to not enter into temptation. Time spent in prayer strengthens you spiritually. (Temptation strikes us all. But we decide whether to yield to the temptation, or not.) JUDE 1:20 NKJ 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, According to Jude, praying builds you up, or edifies you. Prayer is a spiritual exercise; the more you do it the stronger you get spiritually. Some may protest that they don't know how to pray. Just begin to talk to God. And listen for His response, not through a voice, but through His Word, or thoughts in line with His Word. God is not so particular about how His children visit with Him. Just do it! SAY THIS: I choose to spend time with God each day in prayer and receive God's strength and help. RE: Toothache - mariarae - 04-20-2009 05:41 PM Thank you so much for this Faith I appreciate it very much. And I will make MORE time to pray everyday. You are right I go for a walk almost every morning this is the 30 minute start to my day. With our small house and 6 people living here, it is hard to get time alone. So I go out and walk our country road talking to God. I am sure the neighbors think that I am insane, as when I am talking to God, I am singing, praising, and visiting. It is truely talking to my BEST FRIEND. And you know what? I don't care if the neighbors think I am crazy. ha ha |
