Prayer has become such an important part of my life. I depend on prayer for the most insignificant needs. Driving, working, eating and everything I do revolves around prayer. If scared or worried I go to prayer. My prayer begins "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost".
I had a medical procedure today. It worked out fine, but during the process I relied on prayer. Of course I do realize that it's not going to make everything ok, but it gives me hope. Until I lived by myself, I was kind of a haphazard proponent of prayer. Now that my job and everything I do depends on my success to keep my house and income, it has become a very important part of my life.
The pastor showed us how he positioned his hands in a cupped version with palms up, as if accepting blessings into your soul when praying. There is no right method and I feel like it really is not important. I just want to make the most out of my prayers. I have had so many co-workers lose their jobs and I lift them up in prayer. There are too many requests in my life to mention, but it helps me get through the day. When times are tough, it's the one thing that gives me assurance. I want to be strong, but I am nothing without the power of prayer. I am just a girl praying for the best outcome for those I know and love.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, 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.
