The power of prayer

 We were taught, as kids, to pray for things the we want to see, have or what we want to turn out. So many prayers seem as though they go unanswered but God will only grant you what you see yourself worthy of. Imagination is a powerful thing. Everything we see that was built by man started in a mind first, a dream, or a desire.  God is our father. If I wanted to give my child something they longed for and they turned their head in shame as though they were not worthy of it, it would break my heart. How would I know they really needed it if they didn’t ask for it or seen themselves worthy of having it? Turn to your father, ask for forgiveness, not just because you have done wrong but ask for forgiveness that you feel the shame inside, the regret, the missed opportunities that you gave up. Ask for forgiveness that you never had faith that God was leading you all long and you ignored the blessings because someone told you that you weren’t worthy. Know your worth and give thanks to God, forgive yourself and allow God to lay down that path for you. Shut your eyes and know you are not alone, you have never been alone, God is guiding you and prayers are being answered. You have to see yourself receiving what God wants to give you. We all have a purpose and if you are reading this, your job is not done.  Shut your eyes and ask God to lift the burdens that you have tried to carry on your own, Thank God for this day and all the days that have passed. Thank him for the lessons, the heartbreaks, the love, the journey and the life you are experiencing. Ask him to guide you, and be still and know he is leading the way. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Know you are loved and know you are worthy of love.
