7 Things Learned- Power of Prayer

I love to see that person ‘who-will-never-change’ be transformed, the sick be healed, the impossible happen! I just love a good, dramatic, happy ending. I am guessing you are like me and love to see God do amazing and miraculous things that show us He is personal and very real. This shows us the power of prayer.

I am blessed to be one of those who has not only heard amazing stories, but I have experienced them firsthand. I can tell you story after story of how my awesome God has provided faithfully in miraculous ways in my life. Many stories. In the craziest of ways!

ALL these stories had a common thread...Prayer. Much Prayer.

Folks will probably tell you this about me ......”that gal believes in prayer, she prays about everything & I mean EVERYTHING!!” I would tell you, laughing loudly, that they are right.

I know, without any doubt, that prayer allows us to see God’s power at work. I have lived it. I’ve experienced answered prayers that seemed like impossible dreams and wishes come to fruition!

I am not talking about dreaming for a luxury vehicle here. NO!
 I am talking about seeing an addicted husband radically changed when he got real with God after years of prayers!

Of being so sick with what I now refer to as my 'body shutdown' with  labs all crazy & multiple doctors clueless... prayers over the course of those debilitating months brought healing to my body AND my soul!

I experienced these personally.
This is why I believe so much in the power of prayer!

Now don’t think I am this super spiritual woman that has everything all figured out! NO, I am simply an ordinary gal who has finally realized that true, abundant life ONLY comes through true a continuously growing prayer & faith life.

​When I think about the Creator of the universe wanting a personal relationship with us it still blows me away! God longs to guide us all to a wonderful life without fear and the anxiety of having to figure out life on our own. I will never understand why he loves us like he does, but boy, I am so glad he does!

7 Nuggets of Wisdom I have Come to Learn about the Power of Prayer 
in my own life:
 

1. God desperately wants a RELATIONSHIP with his children. I heard this thousands of        times, but hearing and grasping are not the same thing...at.all!
2. Prayer is talking and listening to our Father God...as if he is your best friend
3. Prayer is more than positive thinking because it unleashes God’s power, not my own
4. Prayer changes me even when the situation doesn’t change....HUGE lesson for me!!
5. No prayer life = No growing faith
6. Prayer continually reinforces how big God really is! SO much bigger than I give him credit for
7. Prayer has shown me over & over that God knows me & my needs much better than I do

 
I used to only pray to see the power of God, you know, the work I wanted him to do. (messed up, I know!)
Over the years, my prayers have changed, thankfully. God has already proven his power to me, in the little and big things. Now,  I seek to know Him more. His nature, his love, his work, and His plan for me.
When I ask to know him better, I see how He is in everything!

He will to show us opportunities to join him in his work. I want nothing more than to see God’s power unleashed all around me so others can know this same power of prayer that I have come to know! 
 God desires to be in a relationship with US today!
Prayer is not a science or a skill, it is just talking and listening with your loving Father God.

Just talk to Him today and let Him give you a peace and a power you have never known before.
