Wow, this will be my 21st post. It's good to know that I'll have a documentation of how God touches my life everyday :o) Tonight Julie and I had an awesome prayer session together. We usually sit ourselves down around what I'd like to call as our 'prayer candle' (this beautiful multi-coloured candle Jackie gave me) and spend some time talking our days, and things that we hope to pray for. As we prayed tonight, we each took our turn and then we began to pass the 'prayer baton' back and forth, and just lifted up to God people and things that we wanted to pray for. And really, there is an endless list of things to pray for. Ultimately, our prayers are for every human being to come to know God and love God. The power of prayer is awesome!
In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus reminds us the importance of persistent prayer......
1Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. 3And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary." 4"For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, 5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' " 6And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
