* 113 - IOW *

I have been somewhat on a reading splurge lately.  Anything and everything I find on being more obedient to God and spending more time in prayer with Him.  This has also become a theme for me - prayer and my need for the special time just being with Him.

“Miracles have happened when God’s people come together in prayer.”
~ Billy Graham ~

There are so many testimonies providing valuable insight into the ability of prayer to work amazing things in peoples lives.  Sometimes the results aren’t immediate and we feel let down or think that He isn’t listening, but He is!  All that He desires for us will be revealed in His time not our own.  Part of praying dutifully is knowing that the answers will come when the time is right - that time is only God’s.  We may see some prayers answered quickly or sooner than others, but all we really need to remember is that He has the infinite power and knowledge - to Him we should be thankful that all things will be done by His will in our lives.  This lifts a huge weight off of us by knowing He is in control at all times and seasons!

Be sure and visit Beloved Mama for more IOW and to read other’s thoughts on the power of prayer!

    A dose of truth for a troubled world. Thank you for reminding us to press on in prayer even when the answers don’t see to come forth in our own timing. God’s ways are perfect, His timing is right - it is always full.

    Blessings.
