I thank God for the gift of prayer. I truly believe that prayer is the strongest force available to us. It links us to Jesus, it links us to God.
Prayer. The most powerful against trials. A powerful weapon against sickness. And the most valuable gift to someone you love.
And I pray for everything. Truly everything. I pray for my family, my friends, my relationships, my work, and the world.
And I pray for me. I believe that if you don’t have your own heart in the right place, that your prayers for others are not as powerful as they could be. So, I pray for me.
Always pray to have eyes that see the best, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never loses faith in God.
I always want my eyes to see the good, to see the best. You’ve heard me say over and over again, “Always look for the good”. And I try to do that. But it is taking it to another level to look for the “best”. When you look for the best in people, you’ll see things you never thought you would see.
I get it. Sometimes, you have people in your life for whom you can’t see any good. But, if you’ll look a little deeper, you’ll see something and it may be their best quality.
It may be their only best quality, but it’s there. So, I pray that my eyes see the best.
Forgiveness is a process that sometimes takes a lifetime to develop. And it takes practice. Years of practice. But, if you do practice, your heart can learn to forgive the very worst.
I’ve had to learn, over the years, that forgiveness is for me. I’m not forgiving the other person to help them. I am forgiving to help me. To free me. To help me move forward.
Training your mind to forget the bad also takes practice. For me, the word “forget” here means not to focus on the bad. Move on from it. Focus on the good and move forward.
Finally, I pray that I never lose faith in God. I pray that my soul is always bathed in faith and that I live my life in faith.
Sending you blessings of love and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!

I have a DIL that is EXTREMELY toxic for my son, and, I’m afraid for my grandchildren as well!! BUT, that does not mean that it stops me from praying for her, as well as my son and grandchildren. This is the part that I struggle with, as far as, forgiving. I pray for the demons that have a hold of her, and my son as well, to be cast out and that God encompasses their minds.
I am praying for you and your family.

I loved reading this, such a blessing
Beautiful strong words to help us to truly love and believe in God and never lose faith🙏
Beautiful. I love to read meaningful and thoughtful prayers. This is exactly what I think about but can’t put it in words. Please write a book.
Beautifully felt and written. I am where you are with these thoughts and beliefs about prayer. Prayer is the only way to develop our relationship with Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit (He left His Spirit for this very reason) which transends to our ability to love, forgive others, and heal our hearts. Prayer is the love song for life, the cleansing incense for relationships, and the instrument to reach harmony in our soul. Rita Talbo
I love 💗 this prayer.
I really enjoyed reading, sharing and receiving the post each day
Do you reply???
As I can. I now get so many messages with each post, that it is hard to reply to them all.
I really Love the Lord for His Grace and Mercy that He so freely gives. I have to thank Him for His Goodness and Mercy.. Praying is what I do regularly. I do my best for His Sake.
Wise words!! I’m going to save this post so I can read it again and again.
This prayer reminded to ask before reacting, “what would Jesus do”. God loves all that He made, so I pray that I see what the Holly Spirit see in me. This prayer reminds me to pray that the Holly Spirit dwell richly in me and that the Holly Spirit will fit to send me to preach His Gospel. Amen
What an up lifting message
