Power of Prayer

Sometimes it seems to "cliche" to say that you are going to "be praying" for someone. Some people say it and don't really do it, others do it but don't really believe what they are praying, and then some just seem to have this "relationship" with God that is undeniably expressed through their prayers.

I believe that all christians are called to have such a relationship with their savior. As I once said "to have the holy spirit working in such a way that your spirit is so intwined with "God's will" that he can't help but say yes."

What do such prayers even look like? Sound like? What are these prayers exactly?

I think such prayers have an aspect to them that require boldness, they are often the prayers that Isaiah, Moses, and Abraham prayed where they remind, can one say "remind", God of his promises, his character, and his truth. Such prayers are also humble, the prayer recongnizes how insignificant they are in life compared to the Almighty, and such prayers are often "raw' they aren't planned, the prayer is full of emotion and isn't afraid to let God see all of who they are. They pray, in a sense, wearing their feelings fully on their sleeves. And altimutly they trust God to do as he seems best when it comes to the answer to that prayer.

I sin often when I am worried, stressed, anxious, concerned, and burdened for others. I often have a profound and deep sense of how helpless i really am in being able to help someone. And those that know me well know that I hate not being able to help others, if it was up to me, i would fix houses and sell them on behalf of others, I would donate money for adoption expenses, I would literally feed all the homeless and provide them all jobs and or get them into rehab. I would give money to every struggling church (as long as they were Christ centered). But at last God did not give me the task of saving the world, that he holds alone but he does ask me to care.

I am learning lately that one of the biggest things I can do is pray. I am learning to listen to the spirit's small voice and to stop when i'm worried,anxious, burdend, stressed, and concerned and to just pray instead. And God is blessing a lot of those prayers. I feel blessed to know that I am being used to help place orphans into families, I am being used to bring peace into the hearts of those that have no peace. I am being used in a mighty way to shape the lives around me, and all through a simple act of prayer.

God is the one to be given all the glory, but the fact he allows me to participate, to experience Him and his plan in such a mighty and big way...Well that is truly priceless.

How Great is our God!
