Faith is believing what you can not see. I do believe that prayer is real and that it works. When I was younger, I did not understand the importance of prayer. I thought that you closed your eyes so that you could take a nap during service. I believed that church was for the adults and all I wanted to do was hear the choir sing. It wasn't until I got older that I realized the power of prayer. There have been situations in my life that I thought there was not going to be an answer to, but after praying the burden was lifted off of me.I believe that prayer and meditation are a process. You can not know how to pray effectively if you have never tried. I used to be ashamed to pray aloud because I was afraid that I would say something stupid. Once you realize that you are not praying for the approval of others but for the acceptance from God, your fears will quickly diminish.Prayer has to come from within and getting to know what constitutes as a good prayer is between you and God. You have to pray with your whole heart and mean what you say. Don't feel like you have to be ashamed of what it can do. It is up to you as the individual to take prayer and use it in the way that you know how. Once you have learned the power of what prayer can do, sit back and watch how God works. After that you will not question your faith.

People come into your life for a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for
that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON.
It is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty,
to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an
inconvenient time, this person will say or do something
to bring the relationship to an end.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because
your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it; it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things
you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional
foundation. Your job is to:
accept the lesson, love the person and
put what you have learned to use in all other relationships
and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life,
whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
The Knot Prayer
Dear God
Please untie the knots that are in my mind,
my heart and my life.
Remove the have nots,
the can nots and the do nots
that I have in my mind.
Erase the will nots,
may nots,
might nots that may find a home in my heart.
Release me from the could nots,
would nots
and should nots that obstruct my life.
And most of all,
Dear God,
I ask that you remove from my mind,
my heart and my life all of the "am nots"
that I have allowed to hold me back,
especially the thought that I am not good enough.
Amen

IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS IN NEED OF PRAYER, I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO HELP. WE ARE A GROUP OF 'ANGELS' READY TO ASSIST YOU WITH YOUR REQUESTS................................ PLEASE EMAIL ME ON THIS PAGE AND I WILL HELP YOU WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE............................
Have you ever wondered what kind of prayer God would ever pray? You heard it right, we’re talking about God’s prayer, and you’re definitely not reading an article from an atheist, but from a sinner who truly believes in the Living God. I believe in God. I believe He listens to our every prayer. But the real question is, do we ever listen when God prays.
My beloved, why do you cry? Why do you fill your heart with gloom and hopelessness? Why do you hide from me? Why do you bear this burden that is not yours? Was the night so long you never thought it would surrender to another sunrise? Was the winter too cold you never thought you could feel warm ever again? I am deeply troubled with your troubles. I am utterly concerned that I could not sleep. I know your wounds for they are mine as well. I know your tears and I would like to take them away.
No reply.
My beloved, it’s been so long since I heard your voice; so long since you poured out your heart to me. How I long to hear them once again. How I missed it! How I miss the songs you used to sing. How I miss you! How I yearn to enjoy your presence once more.
..
No reply.
My beloved, has the world deafened the ears that used to listen to my voice? Has the noise of the world been so loud you couldn’t hear my gentle whisper? How I’d like to shout upon you like thunder! To reach out to you like the crashing waves! But it is not my way, beloved. I am not among the fire nor the lightning nor the storm. I am the soft breeze that whispers unto you with unfailing love.
I do not have the love that you have, or the patience that you have for me. I do not care if you bring me fire or thunder or rain for it is just the same! This life is not good to me. It would have been better had I not been born at all!
Why do you despise life; life that I have given you? Have I not formed you in your mother’s womb? Have I not chosen you before the birth of the earth? Have I not fashioned you intricately, passionately, wonderfully, uniquely, perfectly beyond any conceivable thought or miracle? Have I not breathed on you? Have I not given you my own heart? Have I not made you in my own glory and immortality?
I can see no beauty whatsoever in the creature that I am. There is no hope for me for I am wretched and most unfortunate of men. Men will never look upon me with admiration or respect. Men would never even notice me, for who am I? Who am I that anyone should care about me?
You say you fashioned me. You say you breathed your life unto me, but I have none. Death has more mercy for one such as me.
Why do you choose death? Why prefer darkness to light? Sorrow over joy? Despair over hope? Have I not given you freewill? Have I not given you a mind such as my own?
Freewill belongs only to those blessed upon the earth. Men such as me have no choice whatsoever. Why hope when you will be frustrated in the end? Why desire light when you cannot prevail over darkness?
My beloved, have I not given you strength? Have I not poured out Wisdom unto you? Have I not armed you with everything you need to face the battles of this world? And have I not come before you and claimed victory over the war you cannot win?
Why do you talk to me? Don’t you have any other business to take care of? Why waste your time on me when you can convince a multitude with your words? I am not your only love. I am not the only one you care about so be gone from me! I am nobody’s beloved.
Why do you not trust my heart? Do you not know the love I have for you? And why send me to the crowd when my beloved is here? I leave the ninety-nine sheep for the one I seek. For the one which can never be replaced. For the one whom I will hide in the shadow of my wings. For the one whose name is written forever in the palm of my hand.
You speak so wonderfully as though it is the truth. As though you know how I feel.
There is no truth but I. And the truth is that I have loved you so much that I despised my life so you can have yours.
What is this life you’re talking about anyway? If there is heaven, why don’t you bring me there? It is different to walk the face of the earth. It is different to face the people that I face. To struggle with the problems I’m going through. To remain standing when a thousand await for me to stumble so they can trample upon me. So they can spit on my face when they have the chance. Where is the glory you’re talking about? They do not even respect me. Where is hope when I don’t even know which road to take?
What is it that you want, my child?
No reply.
What is it that you desire me to give you?
No reply.
Why do you not knock upon the door which waits to be opened up for you? Why do you not ask for the grace that was meant to be yours? Why do you content yourself with garbage when you can seek a treasure, which nobody can ever take away from you?
I am just so tired and worn out. I don’t even have the strength to argue with you anymore.
Then what is it that you want, my beloved?
I’m just so lonely; I wish there could be someone to hold my hand.
He holds our hand.He carries us when we can carry on
no more.He restores our strength.
He renews us.
He picks up the broken pieces
of our hearts
and mends it
as though it were never broken at all.
God speaks, God seeks us in the darkest chambers of our hearts. God longs to hear us, to touch us and comfort us at times when we needed it most. But we are cold and tired and deaf. We hear Him knocking, but we dare not open the door. We hear Him praying, but we pretend not to have heard it, and we turn away.

Happiness is not a measure of what you have in a bank account, investment portfolio or safety deposit box.
It’s not how big your home is or many cars you can fit in your garage.
Happiness does not lie in keeping up with the Joneses or even surpassing them.
Happiness is not a measure of the number shoes or designer clothes that inhabit your closet and it’s not even a trouble-free, worry-free, or stress-free life.
Happiness isn’t something off in the distance that once you get this done or once that is in order it will suddenly wash over you and then you’ll be happy.
Happiness is wanting what you already have and it’s within you right now. Happiness is a choice.
True happiness can be found in living true to yourself, doing your best and having no regrets.
Happiness and true joy are largely found in the little things, the simple pleasures in life.
Look at how far you’ve come to get to where you are today. Look ahead to tomorrow and see how far you have yet to go. Advance in a positive direction with contentment and joy in your mind and heart and you will find your happiness.
