How amazing is it that we can go to the Creator of the universe at any time?? And how absolutely ridiculous it is that we don't.
How do we become righteous so that our prayers are powerful? By praying!The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. James 5:16
This adorable picture depicts what I am most thankful for about prayer today (and probably most of the time!)
Sometimes I just don't have any idea what to say. I know I'm not the only one. The other day I laughed at myself because my complete prayer went like this...
"Please... Just... Thank You."
Praise the Lord that "the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words"! (Romans 8:26)
Thank You, Jesus, that You always live to make intercession for us! (Hebrews 7:25)
What on earth does that mean - to make intercession for us? I came across this definition from Warren Wiersbe:
"Intercession means that Jesus Christ represents us before the throne of God and we do not have to represent ourselves."
Oh, another thing to be overwhelmingly thankful for!
Anyway, back to the main point of this post: prayer is a gift and I am so grateful for it.
*If you have a prayer need, it would be a blessing to me to be able to pray for you!*
