Prayer Meeting

It's been awhile. I just retuned from a weekly prayer breakfast I attend with a couple of girlfriends. This time is so precious and inspiring to me. we typically share how God has blessed us over the past month and we then share prayer requests with each other. These requests can be related to our own personal lives but they also include prayers we have been given by others in our live who have requested prayer. In between praying and praising God, we have a great meal and we do a lot of talking,laughing, and connecting. I have come to depend on this time of sharing. It has been very helpful duing this difficult time in my life. Praying reminds me that I don't have to try to figure out life on my own. rather, I have a God who delights in blessing me and who gives me wisdom and power to make it through my daily life. Prayer time reminds me that I am God's child and that just like I care about my childre, God cares about me. It also causes me to reflect on the fact that I am not limited by my own human inadequacies and shortcomings. God is always with me and I can always rely on his strength and power. I may be small but he is really big. My shoulders can only take so much but his arms can hold me and all my problems just fine. I am so glad that I was blessed to come to know him as my personal saviour and that through this personal relationship with him I can pretty much do anything, handle anything, and be successful at anything as long as I do it all in his name.
