Prayer

Prayer. What a concept. God again is calling me to pray. Today, my heart is filled with so many emotions that I don't even know where to begin.
My sweet friend Sheryl is someone I met on the sista blog and he has brought about such a sweet friendship. Anyway, she has some medical issues of which have been a struggle for her. However, in the midst of it all she has continued to keep her eyes on the LORD. She had some more tests this week and she got the results today and everything is ok! Some may say, it couldn't be GOD. But I say it WAS GOD. God still does listen to his children and he still performs miracles.
Another person that I have " met" on the blogging world was told that her son would not likely make it to life. Well she gave birth this week and the baby is health 100%. PRAYER CHANGES THINGS.
Then my mind goes to my dad. He was laid off this week. It has so affected him in so many ways and not just the finanical ways. He cares for my mom who has MS and well he has his hands full. The thing is that I just don't understand and you know what after praying alot today THAT IS OK. I don't understand why but what I do know is that MY GOD is bigger than any of it. He will and has always provided.
However, just because GOD does not answer the way we like does not mean he doesn't. But that does not change my mind of not to ask. HE is GOD and I am his child. Enough said.
Then again, I ask the question of what is GOD trying to teach me? Again, to just trust him. Not to look at the situation but look to him. Not just believe in GOD but BELIEVE God. That is what I am doing. Staying in the WORD. Pouring out my heart to him. Asking him to reveal himself to me.
So, as I am about to sign off for now I ask that you pray for our country as well. No matter of your political afflication I ask that you pray that GOD's man would be put in. So often as Americans we have turned our backs on GOD and as Christians we are just as much to blame. We have not stood up for what is right. So speak up, VOTE. Pray. That is what God has called us to do.
This is what the WORD says:
2 Chronicles 7:14 (New International Version)
14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
