Prayer
I'm so thankful for the community that God has dropped me in. at MOC in our life group we spent the whole time praying for my dad and my family and i really felt God's love through them. God has shown me lately a new reason to love Him. He just put on my heart how even though i feel helpless in this situation with my dad's sickness i'm not. Prayer is so powerfull because God wants to say yes to our prayers.
-James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
it has been really amazing to see the number of righteous men a women that are praying for my dad, for my family and for me. it thank you all and thank God for you and i ask and pray that you would keep praying strongly. all this made me think of how not having faith in God has to be so hard. i could see it leading to compleate dispair not knowing that God is working for us and loves us. that has to be such a dark place. so i also ask that you pray for the people in you life that don't have that and that they would find the hope and peace that comes with knowing God. if that is you: know that God does love you and wants you to come to him. it's not just some kind of religiuos, superstitious wacked out crap. it is real and i feel it and see it. in addition i've learned that as christians it is our responsibility and calling to pray for eachother.
-Ephesians 6:18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,
And there is a stregth in numbers when praying.
-2 Corinthians 1:11 you also joining in helping us through your prayers, so that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the favor bestowed on us through the prayers of many.
these thoughts have given me real peace and hope and i wish the same for you.

I know God has a wonderful plan set out for your life and I am thankful He let me be a part of it. I miss you and love you ! Make sure you keep in touch!
