Luke 6:12 NIV

[The Twelve Apostles] [6:13-16pp -- Mt 10:2-4; Mk 3:16-19; Ac 1:13] One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.

In our lives, Trusting God is like a garden, either we grow in trust and produce fruit or ... we wither in our worries.  We must understand that prayer in our lives acts like the water and fertilizer in the garden in that prayer helps us build our Trust in Him.  

Prayer, our communications with God develops Trust and our Relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit- our Faith.  In that, as we Trust more we love God more, we love Jesus more and we feel the presence and Guidance of the Holy Spirit more.  Prayer may not always change our circumstances but for sure, it will change us and how we view our circumstance.  That is huge in God's plan for us.

Here are some things to consider in our prayers and a few things to pray for:

Pray everyday, focused on needs and not your wants, 

pray counting your blessings rather than your "problems",

pray more for others than self, 

pray in the good times to know better how in the bad,

pray in humility rather than feelings of self pride, 

pray in meekness

                  that your prayers are received as authentic,

pray in thankfulness especially when in disrepair, 
pray in forgiving attitude in prayers for forgiveness,

pray in real expectation rather than 
                   expecting fruitlessness,  

pray in feelings of gratitude rather than attitude, 

pray in faithfulness everyday, often, rather than 
                   weak trust in the bad times, 

pray in desire of His will to live in us, 
                   rather than our will,

pray in selflessness rather than 
                   living in selfishness,

pray in your aloneness 
                  not just in public for others to hear,

pray in trusting Him 
                  that you do not fall into temptation,
pray in trusting Him
                  to build your confidence in Him,

pray often everyday,
pray to feel God's presence continuously,
pray to understand God's plan for our lives,
pray to forgive especially when you do not want to,
pray to forgive even when forgiveness will not requested,
pray to Praise Him in all circumstances,

pray to Love Jesus especially when you do not feel lovable,

pray to Seek God and His Kingdom especially when you feel lost,

pray to never allow "why" to be a barrier between you and God,
pray to see, recognize, and accept God's answers to our prayers 
                 as His answers build Trust in Him,

pray for a repentant attitude
                 especially in times of feeling great pride,

pray for your enemies, not just your friends,
pray for Holy Spiritual guidance in 
                   protection from your selfish desires,

pray for Trust greater than Peter's,

pray for inner peace in our chaotic world,

pray for understanding the fullness of God's Grace in our lives,
pray for fully appreciating the fullness of God's Grace in our lives,

pray for continuous guidance of the Holy Spirit in all decisions,

pray for Spiritual joy 
                    in the trials of our personal sadness,
pray for the Holy Spirit to help you build Trust in
                    the promises of Jesus,

pray for courage in adversity,
pray for self-control in a world seemingly out of control,
pray for a gentle spirit in dealing with others,
pray for faithfulness and resistance when tempted,
pray for kind heartedness when facing hard heartedness,

pray for patience in awaiting answers to our prayers,

pray as Jesus prayed,

    "not my will but your will be done". 

Pray, and Pray, and Pray, Everyday,

   especially for the little needs in our lives,

   and

as Moses said to the Hebrews at the Red sea,

   "... watch what God will do for you today."

In addition to prayer and Bible Study,
        God Trusting friends are important elements in
                helping us build our Trust in God.

Pray, Study the Bible, surround yourself with Trusting friends and

Then, do not be amazed at His Glory in your life, 
       His work in your life is just what He does ..... 
           everyday single day!

and then

     show His glory to others 
         in the way you live your life.

Thanks be to God

Prayer changes things. In humility, as we pray more for our NEEDS and especially for others, we see results. Praying for our wants is what often leads to disappointmenst. As we see results, we often pray more, we feel receptive to the Holy Spirit, and then are moved to pray more.  Click below for some things we should pray for. Please share the message on your Fb page as you like, and if you like, click the FB 'Follow' button to have notifications of these publications.  For other messages like this, visit my FB page, or on FB visit-"A Daily Thought Group".

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT YOU NEEDED TO PRAY FOR?  Maybe you think you have your life under control and you do not need to talk to God.  I hope this is not the case, but if it is, then there are manyt things and opportunities you can still pray for.  Under any circumstances, God wants to hear from you (yeah, really, just believe it).  Pray daily as you should and you will be glad you did.  Please share the message on your Fb page as you like, and if you like, click the FB 'Follow' button to have notifications of these publications.  For other messages like this, visit my FB page, or on FB visit-"A Daily Thought Group".

Prologue

This is the only writing on this website that is not authored by me.  This was written by a Facebook friend and published by her on Mother's Day 2013.  This touched me to the very innermost of my being that I ask Debbie for permission to publish this here.  You will find Joy and Promise in her permission.

My mother died in February 2012 and 
         as a Christian this speaks to the very heart of the Promise of our Faith in Jesus.

Thanks Be to God

Weep For Me No More (c)

      by Debbie J. Elkins Owens

Don’t weep for me, for I will not hear you.
Don’t wish me back, for I would not come.

I am in a glorious place now, with my heavenly family. 
I see my Savior, His love is unexplainable

I see my parents, and 

        I see my loved ones that have gone on before.

There is no more darkness, no more fear, and no more pain.

I see streets of gold, and colors that can not be described. 

I am here. I am here. 
So please cry no more tears for me.
You will see me again. 

Comfort yourself in the family that I have left behind.
Remember the love that I have left in each of you.

Put your trust in the Father who made you.
His love is never ending. 
We will be together again.
