While most might roll their eyes and think this is a post about a woman’s period. It is really just click bait to get more than believers to take a look. Now, before you turn back I want to ask you if you know the power in prayer?

What I have found interesting is that most people, believers or not, know about prayer and even the most out spoken non-believer will ask a believer to pray for them or their situation when they find themselves hurting, lost or just completely unsure of who anything will work out. It seems that there is this innate knowing that prayer is something that is needed in order to get through the trials and many traverses of life.

We were created to be in connection with our creator. The very fact that God walked in the garden with Adam (and Eve), is proof that He wants to not just breath life in to us but to be in life with us. Prayer and communing of any kind with our Father was not needed until the separation started with the fall; we were already in regular communing with Him as He came to walk among the creation with His beloved children. While the shift did indeed take place, our lives still crave that space to be filled with our loving Father. Sacrifice and prayers began in order to maintain connection, obedience with an open invitation to let God be with us in life. After Jesus, the sacrificial rights and requests were finished but prayer is what Jesus taught us to use in order to honor and connect with our Father – the maker of heaven and earth.

When we pray we are not just setting aside time to be with our Father, we are acknowledging that nothing can be done without Him as we choose to want to spend time with Him and then ask Him to take things in His hands. I have seen the power of prayer first hand in my own life and in the lives of others. I love prayer and have found that God has asked me to pray, pray and pray about everything and throughout the day. I personally only want to live life with Him, I want Him in all that I am and all that I do. I know that He deserves everything and that I am nothing without Him creating and creating for me. So, I pray and when I say that I would love to pray for you it is not just lip service, I literally stop at that moment and pray before that moment gets away. Yes, that is how important I see pray as. What I find beautiful and awesome is how my child knows the power of prayer and he is the reason I am writing this blog because this morning he tells me, “I nervous. I don’t know why. Can we pray?”. I say of course! Let’s pray. We pray and then he says, “I not nervous anymore. Thank you!”. Wow, what a wonderful testimony of that knowing that prayer needs to be done and then feeling the relief instantly in just shifting and giving it over to God.

There have been many other living testimonies of the power of prayer, some of my favorite are when people come back from any amount of time in death declaring that they saw the prayers moving through the ethereal and were shown by Jesus how effective prayer really is. There is good reason why Paul says that we need to pray about everything and each other at all times. Prayer is literally the greatest P word we can know and do. So, how can I pray for you?
