I'm Convinced!

For a while now the Lord has been dealing with me about my prayer life. I think all Christians go through this at some point in their life. I told God that if he would show me how to pray and teach me about prayer I would obey. Since visiting my mother here in TSS I have had a much stronger burden, if you will, to pray in way that pleases the Lord. I'm not interested in religious rambling; I Want To Pray. I just can't seem to get around to developing the habit as thoroughly as I should.

Yesterday I thought out of the clear blue "I think I'll listen to FBN(Fundamental Broadcastin Network) on the computer. A very powerful message came on about prayer. I was in awe. It was the truth. If I can't be in the habit of praying I won't be able to when trials come. OK Lord. Are you trying to tell me something?

In the evening I was standing at the sink doing the dishes when I began to recall that message. Lord, you are right. I should at least some how "train" myself to be in the habit of prayer. Are you really spacifically calling me...asking me to pray? Yes, said the Holy Spirit(not audibly mind you), I do deal with spacific people in very spacific ways. Wow. Me? Yes. YOU.

Well I put on FBN again today to get some cleaning done. All had quieted down for the afternoon and I was listening to the radio station. Another message came on the radio about prayer. This time a different program. Another message on prayer? Wow. Thats all I can say. Wow. Father you really want me to pray. Well the next stop is my prayer journal.

Matthew 40,41
And he cometh unto the disciples and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, what, could ye not watch with me one hour?

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

*to be continued next Friday*

I sing the mighty power of God

that made the mountains rise

That spread the flowing seas abroad

and built the lofty skies.

I sing the wisdom that ordained

the sun to rule the day

The moon shines full at God's command

and all the stars obey.

I sing the goodness of the Lord

who filled the earth with food

Who formed the creatures with His Word

and then pronounced them good.

Lord, how thy wonders are displayed

where 'ere I turn my eye

If I survey the ground I tread

or gaze upon the sky.

There's not a plant or flower below

but makes thy glories known

And clounds arise and tempests blow

by order from Thy throne

While all that borrows life from Thee

is ever in thy care

And every where that man can be

Thou, God art present there.

Isaac Watts

Everyone sit down....I am blogging.

I know everyone will be shocked if they make it over here so please allow me to explain. When I returned home from TSS in May I learned from dh that we had to cancel our internet. So I have been without internet these 3 months. Maybe I will take my best friends advice and blog on here computer. Speaking of which, I am entering the homeschool give away at her blog. you may find the link below.

Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield and thy exceeding great reward.
