Prayer Works

My dear friend Amy has grown so much in her Christian walk. I wanted her to know that she makes a difference for me. Just when I think I am down and can't give any more, she is one of the people God has placed in my life to fuel me up!

These scriptures were on her blog last month. Prayer is so important. No matter how my month ends in my cycle, I know that I have given it all to Him to fulfill His will...how can you be upset at that if it does not turn out how I'd like....God is always so good to me. I know He is constantly answering my prayers...PRAISE the Lord! :)

Some scriptures on Prayer from Amy's Blog:

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him" (1 John 5:14-15).

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7).

"…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" (James 5:16).

"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints" (Ephesians 6:18).

"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express" (Romans 8:26).

"When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures" (James 4:3).
