I mentioned a few days ago that I like all my chicks in the nest. I actually don’t sleep if they aren’t. Some of our older daughters have been helping with some elderly neighbors and some folks tend to think my son is on call for them 24 hours a day. While one is a God calling and the other isn’t it still keeps me up praying at night. Not to mention a thousand other things I have to pray about. Which brings me to this thought. What would you do if you couldn’t pray? If there was no hope of Jesus changing or protecting or guiding. What a terrible place to be. I daily see the results of prayer. I see folks healed of big huge things and very small things that don’t seem so small when they are in the middle of it. I see attitudes change instantly because of prayer. I feel peace instantly because of prayer. I know that I know my God hears me. I know that I know He cares. I know that I know He wants me to come to Him, just as I want my own children to come to me. Have you ever had a child or friend or a loved one who obviously had a problem but when you asked if they wanted to talk or if they needed something they simply lied to your face and said everything was ok? Your heart breaks for them but you can’t do a thing until they open up, you know that feeling? That is how our God feels when we don’t open up to Him, only a thousand times over because He truly does have all the answers. So, that is my tip of the day. Prayer works for me!
