Prayer

It seems to be all around me. Pray, Joy, Pray. Don't give up, be persistant. Pray BIG. Pray those kinds of prayers that do seem nearly impossible. And don't give up when there isn't an answer the next week, the next few months, the next few years. I want to honor God in asking for the big things. I have been neglect in prayer, so much so that I have lost the faith that it takes to ask for light to be shown in someone's life, or for miracle healing, for comfort, for replacing a heart of stone with a heart of flesh, for courage in the face of adversity, for persistance, for steadfast boldness. Instead I've asked God to let me find a parking spot...a parking SPOT?!? That's baby stuff. I want to be an Anna, and pray for something huge. I want to honor God in praying the 'impossible', for nothing is impossible with Him. And it won't matter if he doesn't answer right away. I will keep asking, knocking and seeking. I have been burdened in my heart once more.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Matt 7:7
