Truth is I never learned how to pray for me. I can offer up good ones for someone else. The idea that I needed to praise him and then do my praying. Gave me trouble because I felt like a phony. So I don't pray at all. Truth is your right. He knows our heart and until I work through the problems of how to ask him for me. I can't be honest to him I. Pray or praise.Gwyn K.

I received one of the most dreaded calls for a parent at 6:20 this morning. My son calling to tell me he had a wreck. He is okay, sore but his vehicle is a total loss. I stopped and "Thanked God" right then. I do not chat to God nearly enough. God has blessed us, we really need to Bless him with our love. There is so many little things we take for granted in life. Sometimes God gives us a little reality check. I am so happy your mom is coming to help you soon. Moms are the best! MisMisWilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01992408642730996238noreply@blogger.com
